One

Enough

Today at the swimming pool: An Italian lady, at least five months into her pregnancy, is playing in the water with her daughter.
At the same time she is having a conversation with another lady who is at least twenty feet away.
“My husband behaves like a child,” the pregnant woman shouts. “He is my second child, and soon I’ll have a third one.” For some men one mother is not enough.

A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
- Groucho Marx
I doubt Groucho would use the word, "fetch". It sounds distinctly British.
For some women one child is not enough, they collect children of all ages, only to be a mother for ever.

Actually Groucho has some connections with the United Kingdom. He did a show on British tv. It screened around 1965.

Child.
Last night I dreamed you had a daughter. Pale complexion, curly hear -venetian blond -with the most beautiful blue eyes. Though slightly bild, skinny even, she was strongwilled , with the most vivid character.
You make beautiful offspring, at least in my dreams.
I'm glad to inform you all that my sister brought me my money-wallet yesterday (and some food my mother had put in a bag). In a way my sister is my second mother.
20 feet? Since when don't you use the metric system anymore?
Arnon
Your assistant Johannes tells me I cannot attend the secret reading.
Is their any way I can persuade you?
Surely there's a seat left for a Persona Non Grata.
margot
You really need to convince Johannes.
Margot
I am easy to convince, but I am sorry. Nothing to do about it.
Arnon / Johannes
Like I said, it's human to be angry, but to stay angry is too cruel. And also a sign of weakness. There are different ways to punish a woman, you know.

Johannes told me the same, Margot. There really is no seat left at the Secret Reading.
How secret is this secret reading. Is it perhaps a one person happening? Only Arnon and no audience.
Only this way Arnon is able to maintain the cordon he started himself.
So this is what the cheese fondue turned into? I think it's quite a ways to go from a dinner table where we would gather and stick the Body of our Lord on a fork and into a sticky substance, to a private, secret setting where the only food would be His Word. It's like a catholic turned protestant.
Margot
I am sorry there is no place left for you.

Some people bleleve that having children is a way to strengthen a relationship. and a prove of love. In fact, breeding is a big challenge for a relationship between lovers. Failing the test doesn't necessarilly mean a break-up, but a difference in treatment towards eachother. A loss of the lovers identity. Suddenly "honney" becomes "mummy", and the parents stop perceiving eachother as sexually attractive objects but as baby-machines or educators.
