Cheaper by the dozen!
I was watching this movie starring Steve Martin, called Cheaper by the Dozen and it got me thinking. In the movie the couple loves big families so they end up having 12 children!! Oh my God I think this is a nightmare! I personally do not like children which is why I never accepted teaching children classes or even junior high school classes, on the other hand my husband adores children! Of course, I'm hopeful that he is not thinking of a big family of 14 (!) but even one child is one and I really don’t know how I should deal with her/him as i expect everyone to act maturely all the time! After watching the movie I was even more horrified at the concept of becoming a parent!
Well the movie was actually a comedy but apparently not for me! There were some really funny parts when for example in a TV talk show they asked the mother whether it was difficult giving birth to 12 children which included two sets of twins! She thought for a couple of seconds before saying: Well you know after the 5th one (I'm not sure about the number) they kinda just walked out!!!! At first I laughed and then when I started thinking about what she meant I was about to cry!The rest of the movie was mostly based on situation comedy of the Home Alone kind, I think it would be fun to watch it with someone who likes children to make them change their minds :D
I'm learning a lot in the workshop about HIV/AIDS, and I'm surely going to share what I'm learning with my audience in our e-zine and also my weblog as I think there are serious misconceptions about the disease among us, Iranians, which can be a source of danger to all of us.
Thanks for your beautiful emails, and I'll try to answer them gradually, but cannot promise for anytime soon, just be sure that I read all of them and appreciate them immensely :)
