Birthday Conundrum

A child newly born into the world had absolutely no choice in the matter. Ask anyone if they remember the day of their birth and you know what they will say. The mother on the other hand knew all to well what was to come. Being a man I am truly amazed that a woman is willing to experience the horror of child birth to begin with.

Why is the child the recipient of all the smiles, pats on the back, spontaneous outbursts of song and gifts? Who did all the work? Who made all the sacrifices? Who allow their very own body to be host to the largest know parasite on the planet? If you answered the woman who will now forever be know as mother you are darn right and what does she get on the birthday? A killer to do list. Crazy!
