Birth Control By Example

Yep.  I said it.  Birth Control.  I haven’t blogged in almost 3 months and I have to start out with some taboo topic. That’s ok.  We are going to talk about it anyways.  You may not be familiar with the meaning of "birth control by example" so let me help you.

I’ve been thinking about this topic since my outing to Costco today.  I had a return to make so Jocelyn, Olivia and myself headed out.  By the way, Olivia will be 2 next week (sniff) and EVERYONE knows that Costco with a (almost) 2 year old is risky business.  Well, we made it and stayed for lunch to boot.  Lunch didn’t go well.  Olivia didn’t want to eat and was a little over due for her nap.  Plus she didn’t want to share the beverage (please note I’ve been vague about "the beverage", this is so you will think maybe I’m giving my kids water to drink).  When it came time to leave and I tried to take "the beverage" away she shrieked.  I don’t mean she shrieked, I mean she SHRIEKED.  And not for like 10 seconds but for like 73.8 seconds.  Ear splitting, glass shattering, give me my way or else shrieking.  Now I know exactly how many peopled stopped to look at this lovely display: all but 2 people within a one mile radius.  I also know that at least one couple decided in that long 73.8 seconds that they will never have children.  I set forward the example of toddlerhood for them and it will be adequate birth control.  Hence :"birth control by example."  Best of all, it was free.  Glad I could be of service in the world today.  :)
