bettiwettiwoo's Journal: 5 ... Reasons to Have a Baby

1. You really want one. Or, in case you're Angelina Jolie, you want 14 or so.
2. Your God tells you to go forth and multiply.
3. Oops!*
4. Surrogacy.
5. If you're Nicole Richie, you hope it's a get-out-of-jail-free-card!

*And it's variant Oops! I did it again! also know as the Britney Case. (Well, it could hardly be known as Britney Reason, now could it?!)

Scooped plenty of cat litter, though. But at least my cat won't stab me for the Corvette when he turns 16.

Diapers, by and large, are part of the cost, not the benefit. However, time on the changing table can be quality time with baby. You gotta get 'em giggling.

I think a lot of us owe our existence to number 3.

All of us do, since our distant ancestors new nothing of "Lie back and think of England."
