Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.
Of course, I have the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, like crying jags for no reason and then the next day I can't even remember what I was crying about!

If a policy is wrongheaded, feckless and corrupt, I take it personally and consider it a moral obligation to sound off and not shut up until it's fixed.

Why do I speak forth the unpopular? I have a sweet tooth but not when it comes back up.
You can't just carry everyone else's hopes and fears around in your backpack and expect to stand up straight.
