Sweet, kid-free silence

To be fair, if I could be guaranteed a kid as great as hers, I’d drive down to the Navy yard right now and offer my unused womb to the first seaman who’d come aboard my battleship.

But as it stands, being around my friends’ children brings me a joy rivaled only by returning home to the sweet, child-free silence of my apartment.
