This business of who should and should not have children reminds me of a little story...

I was working as a draftsman in the mid-70s. In a large room, several of us would work face-down at light tables for 8 hours. The entry-level work required at least a bachelor's degree.

All was quiet - most of the time as we concentrated on aerial photographs and color separates.

The silence was broken one afternoon by a young lady who worked in front of me when she suddenly observed,

"When I think that you have to have a college education to do this and any d@Mn fool can be a parent!!"

I will never forget my sudden enlightenment.

That is a good quote and so true. When my youngest was still in school, I told his teacher that if I had left it in their hands to educate my child he would come out an illiterate.

- Someone asks you what grade your child is in and you can't give them an answer. (I love that one!)
