Great news, moms! Apparently retirement is possible, but only on certain conditions.

  • Moms ”lay” children. If they ”lay” only sons, they are out of luck
  • Moms with daughters just have to wait a while. They have to be moms until the daughters grow up. Then, the daughters take over mom’s job, and the mom has to go away and do something else.
  • Daughters grow up when they can drive, around 16

This theory is courtesy of Romeo, age 5. He informed us of this last night at dinner (along with demonstrating the proper way to bow if you are face-to-face with God (right foot behind, deep knee bend, left hand on chest, head bowed)).

With 3 boys, I am so out of luck! But congrats to those of you with daughters!
