Ju is a decade younger at least, lately married and freshly pregnant. she wants to know about the night feeds. i tell her, frankly, i would just enjoy the next few months, it won't be so good again for a long time.
in truth, if people counted the cost, no one would have kids. the perquisites of parenthood are appreciated only by initiates, in the secret places of their hearts. the funny thing is that the amorphous returns of parenthood somehow outweigh the definite pains, but not so you could balance on a ledger and tell it to a non-parent without sounding mushy.
