I do not yet have children. However, I care for many children in a wide range of ages.Until children, I never even considered keeping a shirt on that was covered in vomit, in order to keep taking care of the one that put it there.

How much laughter can be in my day.J3nny says,
...I never even considered how I'd be able to stuff 48 hours worth of activities into a 24 hour day, and still feel like I could do more....I never even considered that I would defy myself and my "junior" beliefs, lick my thumb and wipe food off of my son's little chubby face. Gross (but at times, necessary). :)
