As someone about to be a parent for the first time in the next couple weeks, I’m starting to understand why parents are so enamored with those little stories.

I’m so excited about being able to raise a little girl and really want to be able to teach her everything. My wife and I will be able to experience the world in a completely new way because our child will have that excitement about everything that adults lose over time.

To each their own, I completely understand why someone wouldn’t want kids, but I definitely think those stories are really the greatest things in the world to the parents. Because generally, a parent’s kid is the best kid in the world to them.
