Quite strange things that people do

When they have children

Most people remain normal or at least the same when they have children. Maybe new dads and moms are spotted drinking a little less at the bar, but the nature of the beast is still there (let's just say). But there are things that even people with a perfectly suitable mind do. And: I don't understand them.

At number one, and we've mentioned it before, the profile picture on Facebook changing to the head of the (honestly: still quite wrinkled) baby. Who is obviously the cutest on earth, according to you, but the fact remains: you don't look like that yourself. No. You don't turn into a baby when you give birth. I prefer the photo of you with the sprout. Then I can still see who I was friends with. Much more efficient.

I also want to talk about ultrasounds. Seeing an ultrasound of your best friend? Sure, you want that. Just like that of family. But an ultrasound of a distant acquaintance from the past that pops up on Facebook? No, thanks. As Kiki says: ‘Ultrasounds are tricky for us non-ultrasound people.’ It's just true. You just don't know where to look, what to say, and in the end, you're still looking at the inside of a uterus, yes.

I was in the car on Whit Monday, which is an extremely bad idea, I can tell you. It's as if they gather all the bad drivers and send them onto the highway all at once. Cha-os. Many family cars were involved. You know, of the Fit For Family genre. I still understand that type, because you want to move around a bit comfortably. I also understand that you want to protect your offspring from excessive sunlight, but then you choose sun protection with a toy train or cowboy doll brought to life? It should be the first point in the course: how to hit the road as sexlessly as possible. Total error in my mind. You spend gold money to drive around a bit nicely, and you ruin it in a nanosecond when you press those suckers against the window.

To be continued, I'm afraid.
