Ah, he knows the way to this menopausal woman's heart!
I melted and said that of course I would have another child! Of course!
It wasn't until I awoke that I considered who my new lover was.

Yup. One of the least attractive mugs on the planet. Possibly least likely to be asked to perform without a shirt on. (Next to Robin Williams, of course.)
The subconscious mind is a very, very weird space.
I used to get the tiniest baby-wanting twinge when I saw new babies and/or pregnant women. Until I helped Susan when the twins were first born. WEre they awful? No. But I'd remembered all the nice stuff, and forgotten the whole lack of sleep, time to yourself stuff. I think that is how memory is supposed to function: drop the bad, keep the good.
ReplyDeleteIf we remembered all that stuff, we would never have more than one child. I think the sleep-deprivation actually acts as an amnesia drug.
