earltheturtle: baby laughing + fake mustache (via sleepandeat & fuckyeahhappy) Dear Ira, I am so glad that I didn’t have kids yet. Prior to this year, I would have been the stereotypical-hipster-white-person and stood outside in line in the wee hours of the morning to get my infant into a preschool that only speaks French and the kids learn the importance of calculus before they even figure out what their toes are for and how good they taste. Now, well now Ira, I am a different person. This year shaped me in ways I was not expecting. Now, it’s all about fun. I want my child to be happy. I want my child to have hopes and dreams and By GOD a sense of humor. Fuck Harvard, Fuck Princeton, Fuck Yale (especially fuck Yale) - sweet child of mine, go to a state college. Party it up. The world of boring adulthood will wait for you. Sweet child of mine, discover your toes, and never lose that wonder. Sincerely, Enna Stein

Dear Ira,

I am so glad that I didn’t have kids yet. Prior to this year, I would have been the stereotypical-hipster-white-person and stood outside in line in the wee hours of the morning to get my infant into a preschool that only speaks French and the kids learn the importance of calculus before they even figure out what their toes are for and how good they taste.

Now, well now Ira, I am a different person. This year shaped me in ways I was not expecting. Now, it’s all about fun. I want my child to be happy. I want my child to have hopes and dreams and By GOD a sense of humor.

Fuck Harvard, Fuck Princeton, Fuck Yale (especially fuck Yale) - sweet child of mine, go to a state college. Party it up. The world of boring adulthood will wait for you. Sweet child of mine, discover your toes, and never lose that wonder.

Sincerely,

Enna Stein
