Child's views on the adoption process

I love this. I just read this story on the Holt BB

A family is sitting on the sofa together talking. A 5 year old, adopted from China starts to ask questions about becoming a grown up.

Mom says, "When you grow up, and start a family, are you going to adopt?"
Child: "Nope, I'm not having any kids."
Mom: "What, why not?"
Child: "Too much paperwork!"
Dad: "Don't worry son, your wife will fill out all of the paperwork."

Actually to be honest in our house it was all Daddy. The paperwork is pretty daunting especially for someone as ADD as me. Thank goodness Daddy did it.
