Procreation

Aloma and I were talking about some close friends of ours.  “They have exceptional children and grandchildren.  The kids are good looking, motivated, excellent students and suburb athletes.  These are the kind of people who should have more children.  The world would be a better place.”

“What if we encouraged them to have more children?” I asked.

“Steve, they are in their seventies,” Aloma said.  She paused and then added, “Well, miracles do happen.  Maybe we could help.  How about setting them up with a fabulous dinner and a weekend in a swanky resort?  Then let nature take its course?”

“Great idea,” I responded.  “Let me work on it.”

Two days later, I approached Aloma.  “I’ve got a plan worked out.  I’ve got a room for four hours in a Motel Six and two gift certificates for $10 each at a nearby McDonalds.  That should do the trick.”

Aloma glared at me and said, “Let’s forget the whole idea.”  She walked away.
