feeling broody?

well, go to a one year old birthday party and you'll see
fantastic decoration, fabulous cakes, lovely presents
parent's friends, parents with children, childless friends
and the best, the conversations: "uhhhh look (clap clap clap) he took one step"
forget about the yet-again Italian government collapse, the Oscars, the Beckhams or football!
mine said mamma last week, mine pooooooed green this week, mine is five weeks old
and you think: "gosh, get me out of H-E-R-E"
and then you reconsider: "that'll be ME sometime in the future!"
cos you realise Everybody does it, so it must be for a reason, an uncontrollable parental instict that forces you to dribble over children's bubbles
and you conclude: "well, until it's my turn, i pass"
