You know, once it’s ready.

The obvious answer is “baby don’t hurt me / don’t hurt me / no more.”
But let’s dig a little deeper.

Excerpt from an email I sent a while ago to this wonderful blogger and mother, on the subject of happiness.
My thinking goes somewhere along these lines: Having a child seems to be a lot of work (right!? :P), something I think is understated in the western world. I spent an important part of my life living in Asia, where it is considered to be somewhat the norm that when the first child is born,...

I find this fable very interesting. You’ve probably heard it before.
The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?”
