I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible and I cried for three days.
My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.
I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child but in all reality I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society.
The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.
There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.
