TM #386 - Do you have children? If not, do you want them one day?

[nerdherdchuck]

[Locked to those who know of his secret life.]

I don't have any children now. I do wonder what it would be like to have them someday though. But, the spy life...I've seen what's done to my family. Both my parents were part of it and both of them were not part of the lives for my sister and I for several years.

Because of the spy life, I honestly thought they abandoned us only to find out, that wasn't quite true. Especially my mom. My mom even had to lie to me to keep her cover in tact when we found her.

So what happens if Sarah and I have kids? Would we be able to be with them? Would missions call us away for months or years on end? I don't know. Plus, there's always the risk that they would be in danger. What would we have to pretend to keep covers and keep them safe?

I guess the short answer is 'I don't know.' It's a decision with a lot to think about, that's for sure.

This is true. Did I tell you what helped get Clara to sleep?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

No, what did you do?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Ellie bought a toy called a Sleep Sheep. It's a little plush sheep that plays soothing sounds and music.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Kawaii! That sounds adorable!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It really is. I can see why Clara likes it.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I will see if I can find one of these. I can buy one for one of my cousins.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

We sell them at the Buy More.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oooh, then I can buy a few.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Just make sure you don't purchase any that are wearing Jeffster t-shirts...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Do I want to know?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Remember Jeff and Lester? That's their band.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh, you are right. I do not think I want to hear that or have babies listen to it.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough though, one song they sang put Clara to sleep. But I think that must have been some weird fluke. That's why I said to avoid the Jeffster wearing Sleep Sheep.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I cannot imagine that most of their music would do that. Not that I have heard their music, but judging by the personalities, it must be...strange.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It is. Lester really can't sing.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That does not stop a lot of people.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sadly true.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It is the same at home.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It is?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. There are plenty of singers who become popular not because they are good but because they are cute or they have a look that people like.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I guess our music industries aren't all that different.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Not really. Just different styles of music. And they are trying to copy some of new American styles with...differing levels of success.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It's like when they try to remake stuff - like old movies and stuff. They never quite come out the same.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Yes. And the culture that creates things like rap does not exist at home.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

And rap has its own sorta subculture to it.
