Miracles?
Wednesday, September 1, 2010Dear Magazine Editors,
This may be a bit dated to say, but I finally am getting down to it. Princess Mary having twins is NOT A MIRACLE! This set of twins will bring her count up to if I haven’t blinked and she squeezed out one or two in secret, four children. It tires me to say that every child is a miracle, sure the other day when I crossed the path of a four day old boy, I thought, Holy Crap, that thing grew in that ladies gut, it kind of grossed me out.
If something happens nearly490,000 times a day, does it still consitute a miracle? That comes to 178,850,000, a year, not counting a leap year. One Hundred and Seventy Eight Million, Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand births a year. Does that discount it as a miracle?
Sure for you parents who struggle, have gone through IVF treatments, or were born male, having a child is probably a bit of a miracle, but please to those very fertile women, or editors of magazines who are clucky and concerned that your husband, boyfriend, lesbian lover…. etc, will not ever give you a child…do not call a child a miracle. IT’s just what happens.
How about do a cover that says, ‘Princess Mary’s MIRACLE she is NOT pregnant for once’ or ‘Angelina and Brad Pitt are not going to have another Child, say two hundred million is enough!’ because we all know it is not going to stop till they die or just someone says ENOUGH!
So please, stop calling babies Miracles, I swear if anyone if I ever have a child calls them a miracle, I will throw you out of the top story window.
Sincerely SmilingChaos
