Today I went to a friends “gender reveal” party. The concept immediately made my eyes roll so fast to the back of my head they almost fell out but it ended up being very relaxed and the food was good. There wasn’t any beer at the event which took me as rude since there was also about 50 children no older than 7 running around. Which struck me as odd because there was only about 20 adults there and most of them didn’t have kids.
I’m pretty sure I want kids…eventually. My buddy is ready, he’s got a big heart and I can tell just by looking at him that the whole situation makes him happy. Him and the mother of his child also got formally engaged at the event, the whole thing was very sweet even to this jaded twenty something.
I like kids, I really do. Its a shame that a full grown man can’t fully admit to that these days without fear of someone thinking something unspeakable. I enjoy hanging out with them, they are funny, have unique and unfettered opinions and very skewed perspectives that are genuinely hilarious. Also they like cartoons and so do I. I guess its just easy to get along with kids when you’re a big kid yourself.
I do want kids…but I can wait. Time to drink beer and play video games. Lates!!
