Starting young
We sometimes joke at work when people bring their kids into the office about starting ‘em young, but this really takes things to extremes.
A nine (9) year old girl in Brazil has given birth to a healthy baby after a full term pregnancy. According to one of the doctors at the hospital where this happened:
“The girl is only starting to feel that she’s a mother, with the help of our psychologist. She’s still playing with her dolls and watching cartoons in her room, like a child would,”
That’s really sad ….just a child.
At the other end of the scale, in England, a 62 year old woman has had a baby. Why the hell she’d want to completely escapes me. By the time I’m that old I intend to be off travelling, having fun and spending my childrens’ inheritance … certainly not looking after babies. Been there, done that, don’t want to ever again.
