Children without the childbirth . . .

I never had children myself, but I now know what it's like to have children and all of the responsibilites that go along with it. I have 2 children now, both in their 70s, i.e., my parents. It is absolutely true what they say - the child becomes the parent and the parents become the children. The funniest part of all of this is I now understand why parents with children are always late for everything! Something always delays my leaving the house, I'm never on time for anything anymore.
