davelj, i wouldve considered children luxury goods prior to having them.
Now that i have them, it’s clear to me they are absolutely necessary. It was unseeable to me that i wasn’t who I really am without them.
So, no, not a luxury.
I’d rather have them and have a complete crap lifestyle.
They often ask me, pa, how much would you sell one of us for?
When i explain that i honestly would not take a million, or even to their shocka nd chagrin, ONE BILLION DOLLARS, they cannot understand it. Hell, they might even sell me for a billion dollars.
Do other kids ask their parents weird questions like that?
how much would you take for me? Assume I’ll be well taken care of, pa, so you don’t have to worry about it. but you never get to see me again. How much?
Dude, I would not sell you.
Sure you would. think of all the money, Pa! Think of it! Wealthy beyond your dreams!
