My mother is so funny....
I get this letter from her the other day and the only thing the envelope contained was a recent article from TIME magazine. TIME recently did an article on how women are moving up in the work force and trying to obtain upper-management positions which entails they put off having children for a few years. Many women wait until they're 35 to have children only to find out that they are not as fertile as they would've hoped to be. The age of fertility peaks at 27 and then drastically declines. Well, I am only 21 and the thought of getting married seems distant to me nontheless having children!
So, I call my mother and asked her why she sent the article to me.
She says, "Well ZTAngel, I just think this is something you should consider. I don't know whether you realized this or not."
me: "Mom, I am 21. I don't even know what I plan on doing a week from now!"
mom: "Well, I had always thought women were fertile through their 40's and after reading this I realize this is not the case."
me: "Once again, I am 21."
mom: "Well, you need to be thinking about this. I do want grandchildren one day...."
me: "MOTHER!!!!!!"
mom: "Well...I do. So, I will be really disappointed if that doesn't happen."
me: "Oh good lord...."
Yes, my mom has officially gone crazy.....
