What can you say about having a child except for the undeniable fact that they obviously rule the home with an iron fist and we, as parents, are subject to their despotic impulses? Oh, you lay offerings on their altar in the form of Disney movies and Kool-Aid, and they’ll shine benevolently upon you for about five minutes before the whims are back

You sound like Shawn talking about Cameron. Is parenthood really that imperialistic?
Ambition--suits you.

Yes, it's very secret. Almost so secret that I nearly forgot where it was, but never fear. A call to 411 saved our plans.
Torrie, you have no idea. Children wield the power of crying over us all. You will do nearly anything to make. it. stop.
A little ambition never hurts.

Somehow I have supreme faith in the plans not being ruined for anything short of a blizzard. You seem rather resourceful.
Now I understand the look on Shawn's face after he's come out a store with Cameron in tow. The 'Please, Tater, if you love me find a way to make it stop' look. It's heartbreaking.
A little amibiton never hurt anyone. A little more ambition might get you places. In the general sense of 'you'. OK, maybe in the specific you too. I still have a few cards up my sleeve.

Yes, I can certainly feel your mental waves of concern about the state of my mental health after a back to back viewing of Aladdin three times. Why?! It's always going to end the same way. There are no surpise endings upon every third viewing.
I don't think that ambition is necessarily a bad thing. Are you challenging me to a game of cards? Then you'd best take care, Miss Wilson. I'm the resident champion of Goldfish.

As for parenting, I haven't had the pleasure of it, but I've heard the stories. Barney on constant play 24/7.

Children. The best thing that could happen to you in all seriousness. But it is an exercise in effort and selflessness.

Something new and exciting. Where everyday you learn some new fact or thing about the other person that you didn't know. Sex is just bodies looking for instant gratification. Learning about each other is about the mind.
I am sure someday I will have the joy of parenthood. For now, I am content.

Sex? That’s easy and too accessible. If I wanted to, all I’d have to do is close my eyes and point a finger. It’s not overconfidence when it’s true. Frankly put, it’s boring. I’ve past that point long ago and I’m not looking to wax nostalgic about it. Not a very good way to impress me. I know it sounds snobbish, but I'd rather engage in a different sort of dance before getting down to something like that.
But a clever mind? Now that is infinitely more interesting and much harder to find. But what the hell? I’m an ambitious sort of guy.
Now quit mucking in my thoughts. I was thinking the same thing only moments ago. Except the ambitious guy part.

And...hey! I'm a very ambitious guy.

I'm not saying you aren't an ambitious guy. I'm just saying that I am not an ambitious guy. *Laughs*

Yes, all right. You've got me. You're obviously not a guy, but you may be a little ambitious.

At the very least you have a goal.

I challenge you to an IQ test, Famke Janssen. How about it? I'm up for it. Debilitated manhood pride is on the line.
