I’ve spent a lot of time with kids and I like them, but I don’t have any of my own. This piece strikes me as much less magical than most people here seem to view it. It’s just kind of a “duh, that’s how kids work.” I have to wonder if the author hadn’t spent much time with children before having her daughter? Or maybe there’s some chemical nonsense involved in the biological connection that makes all this seem profound.

- themadturk 4y agoI think these are simply observations. The writer has a young child, is amazed at the way this child has made her view life. I certainly went through it when I first had children. There's nothing wrong with a parent standing in awe of the freshness of the world through a child's eyes. If you're of a particular philosophical or observational bent it can certainly be profound as it's happening.
