Made-to-order

I recently was going for a walk in my neighborhood with my kids when I struck up a conversation with a gal I know down the street. She oohed and aahed about Max's curly blonde hair and Gavin's big blue eyes and really long eye lashes. Right away I knew what would be said next.

"You should have a girl with that curly hair and those big blue eyes!"

Of course I have to agree with this brilliant idea, like I hadn't thought of that before, like when I placed my last order for a kid this whole idea hadn't crossed my mind. What else am I supposed to do but agree? I did conduct a test once to see what would happen if I disagreed with the idea of a blond, curly haired, blue-eyed girl. The results were disastrous. The woman narrowed her eyes and glared at me like I had blasphemed.

It seems the majority of the population that I come across have access to this made-to-order child business. If ever I decide to order a child I will be sure to find the woman with the narrow glaring eyes and ask her where the nearest drive-thru is. I will be sure to ask for a child who cleans their room, is already potty trained, and only says "no" when being offered drugs. Oh yeah.... and curly, blonde hair and blue eyes.
