Reality check

On the phone with my sister the other day, I complained self-righteously about how often I am asked if we are going to have another child. “I mean, I don’t think people realize just how much your life changes when you have two!” I said, conjuring fantasies of how cool our life is, how hip and urbane, compared with my concept of suburbia, which is two kids. A pause, and Ellen replied, “Um don’t you think your life has already changed?”

Good point Ee.
