Birth Control Reminder

I can’t believe I never posted this story. I find it quite funny and have been meaning to share for a while, so here goes ...

A few months ago, Little Ricky were taking a plane ride home, just the two of us. It’s always easier to travel with him when Daddy’s around, but this time it was just us. Little Ricky was not awful on this flight, but at times he got a little fussy. And as we were squooshed into the window seat on a very full flight there wasn’t much I could do about it.

Sitting next to us was a young lady who was mid-twenties, tops. Unlike most folks we’ve flown with she didn’t seem too interested in my beautiful bambino.

That is until he started to cry. At which point she looked at him, leaned down to pull something out of her purse and proceeded to take her birth control pill.

Now I ask you—am I taking it personally to think that my adorable child is what prompted the pill popping?

It's never a particular kid - just kids in general that cause the rest of us to either .. pop a pill or pray thanks to heavens for our IUD. Not everyone wants/likes kids and dont be offended when we dont gaga over your child, particularly in closed quarters.

That cracked me up! When I was in my early twenties, seeing a fussy baby would have prompted me to pop a pill, too. Now that I have a kid, I'd be making silly faces and razzes and searching my purse for anything remotely resembling a toy.
This made me giggle out loud! Don't take it too personally...my own kid reminds me frequently why we paid for Mirena!
It feels good to write.
