The Algernon Effect

Our wonderful friends Danika and Gordon (of the Seattle machaggis household) graced us with a lovely visit on Saturday.

Aside from being great friends, good company, and all-around upstanding folk, they are also part of our slowly dimishing group of friends that do not yet have children.

Am I the only neophyte parent that has a fresh fear of their childless friends? More specifically, does anyone else worry that parenting has rendered them dreadfully dull? Unable to talk about anything but one's child/ren? With an inability to communicate in words not found in a preschool picture dictionary?

No matter. Doug and I had a grand time and even managed showers for both of us before they arrived. (Small victories!) I think we may have even held our own in the adult conversation. (And I don't care what Wikipedia says, Gordon, it's tightie-whities NEVER whitie-tighties!)

So arguing about discussing Y's is adult conversation?
