Paris Hilton wants to be a mother, and other signs of the apocalypse

I have no DUI’s and I have no sex tapes.

I have never spent time in jail and my dog is far too big to carry around under my arm.

I do not have armies of vapid and spoiled teenagers yearning to be me, (at least not that I know of)

…and I still want to be a parent.
A friend of Paris Hilton recently quoted her as having said “…I decided it’s time for me to grow up and take responsibility – and the best way to do that is to become a mother.”

It made me realize that I may be having a child for the wrong reasons. Granted, my wife looks really cute pregnant, but my intentions aren’t to have a new accessory or besmirch an innocent and blank slate in hopes of cleaning up my own act. Why then, would anyone have kids?
