seems a few of my friends are actually concerned about this, so ok here are some constructive thoughts if you're worried abt people trying to spread the meme of "don't have kids, kids bad", the best thing u can do is have kids yourself and show off havin a great time with them https://t.co/hXD75Jd1yL

almost everybody waves back at a happy child, and total strangers will form impromptu playful networks to humor a kid. even hardened tough guys will do this. there's something about the joy of a child– we all want to protect and support her https://t.co/OEvYIHnyXA
