None is Enough

None is Enough by Laura Scott is about women who decide that their lives are perfect the way they are and see no need to have children.  These women are happy individuals so have husbands and some do not.  Up until roughly then 21^st century it was common for women to have a large amount of children.  Even today it is still common in some religions or family traditions. Back in the 1900’s ‘motherhood wasn't seen as an option, it’s more a given’. Meaning that people didn't think not to have kids every women around them had a family and kids, it almost wasn't an option not to have children.  Some teenage girls know they don’t want any children of their own.  Laura Scott has made that decision by age 14, she was married just with no kids.  Scott waited for a time that she felt was right to have kids but that time never came and she explained that she “loved her life the way it was.”   In today’s society we almost never ask “Why do you have children?” the more common question would be “Why don’t you have children?”   In the upcoming years we will see a decrease in women wanting to have children.  More women are deciding that there life is fine without a child and would rather be pursuing their dream job rather worrying about crying little babies.  Oprah Winfrey explains that “she has none- not one regret about not having children- because she believes that is the way it is suppose to be.” Dolly Parton said “my songs are like my children-I expect them to support me when I’m old”.  Dolly brings up a important point about having children and them taking care of you when you are old.  She describes her songs as kids and how they will help her get though her older years with the help of nurses.  For some people they rely on the help and support of their children.  Laura Scott described how she left about children and she added other woman’s insight on they feel about having children and changing their whole lives.  She says in the last paragraph of the editorial that the toughest years for a woman are her late 30’s and going into her early 40’s.  She described it as “going solo” in her life. This is the point in her life when she is alone and usually around this time mothers have teenagers and are adjusting to their everyday needs.  Laura Scott shows the perspective of women who are completely satisfied with their lives and feel as if they do not need any children to help the be happy.  More and more women are starting to feel as if having children won’t make them any happier.  They are breaking away from tradition of having large families and many kids.

My Cat

Flifferhuzza

Fliffernuzza. Adjective; an expression used to describe something that has happened or a bad thing that is happening now. 

Ex. Oh fliffernuzza I just ran over my cat!

Can also be used in context of...

That broken knee was fliffernuzza nasty. 

Synonyms: nasty, gross, horrible, bad, terrible

Antonyms: happy, rainbows, glad, exciting, proud 

There was a cat and he thought his life was going great and wonderful. He had his cat wife and 18 kitten children. He named them all the same names so he could remember them since he had got into a fliffernuzza car accident.  From that terrible accident he lost his short term memory and could only remember some thing and things from the past. He could remember up to the car crash that he had caused. It was one fliffernuzza of a mess.  There was tires and glass everywhere. The cat had to go to the hospital and get a full body cast, each day and night he cried "oh fliffernuzza!!!!!" "What have I done?" The nurse cat tried to calm him down and assure him that everything was going to be alright. In the end he was fine but couldn't remember his own name.

             The End.

P.S this is a true story about my cat
