I often think ridiculous things like I feel like all parents could be Pod People. You see them walking around often dragging small children by the wrist; they're not even walking just being dragged. And the parents always have one of two looks on their faces like dads are always either confused or angry and moms always have some exhausted or dead eyed stare. The worst is when they talk to you and they only reply in monotone one to three word phrases like: "Join us" , "happy", "have children too". When I meet parents like this I always feel like I should be looking behind me making sure some pod person dad isn't trying to sneak up on me and infect me with a papoose.
