Creativity, like your husband's patience and fossil fuels, is finite.
The older you get, the less creative you become, mainly because you
drank away that part of your brain and thinking outside the box cuts
into your Target and Sam's Club time.
This means if you were an especially imaginative child, you're never
going to be a good scrapbooker. Though it hurts, you just have to
accept it.
Maternal instincts pop up where you least expect them, like when you're
watching a Ziploc commercial or when your husband gets in a fender
bender and just needs to be held. You don't have to push a baby
through your ladyhood to satisfy your maternal instincts, especially
with all the baby Chinese girls and narcissists available.
Even trees like to be hugged, and they'll never pull away first.
