A Choice Made

when they met the discussion went as such a.“do you see yourself having children?” b.”no. there are far too many things that i want to do in this life. a child would just complicate matters. besides, the responsibility! i can barely keep myself together, much less prop up a kid emotionally, financially…ugh, and the worry of it all…no way. not for me.” a.”so glad to hear you say that. i thought i was the only one!” and one thing led to another, the birds hung out with the bees & during the time spent, she found herself missing that time of the month, so, without his “permission,” she as a free & independent woman, made a choice. yes, a choice, her choice, had been made. somehow, and though she forgets now that she is alone again & he is long gone, the information regarding her choice came out--- either he caught on, via his own investigation, or it spun its way out in an argument, during the inevitable souring of the may to december. the calamity that ensued was unexpected, to understate his reaction immensely, for it seems that this wannabe father in disguise, was just saying what had to be said at the time, to get in said lady’s pants, so that the bees & the birds could hang out, as they do. he threw a little fit, like a child on the playground who got his ipod stolen & was running round with tears in his eyes, hoping that mommy would come & save him--- “why didn’t you discuss this with me?!!” he pleaded, then in his after-school-special sort of manner, he got on his soap box & told her how such a decision should include both the prospective mother figure & father figure--- but in the end, when he got down, he realized that the future son or daughter which he had led the whole world to believe that he DID NOT want, was now gone forever & so he had to take his 40-250 million sperm that would pop out of him the next time he got some & walk back out into the dating world again, this time with the foreknowledge that a woman doesn’t have to figure out what he is really thinking, just because he wants her to & that her body is HER BODY--- period.
