Tina?

The day off seemed so inadequate. It rained all day so the family K didn't leave the house. We watched t.v. and played on the computer.

Tina would be the name of the second child, presumably a girl, that the adults at Casa K have talked about having. Having Tony, I now have many regrets that I didn't become a parent sooner - twenty years sooner in fact. I am finding it difficult to rid myself of impractical habits and ideas because I spent the good part of my adulthood living an extended adolescence. I tried to make up for it by having Tony. I now ask myself if bringing a Tina into the world would be practical. I am in my mid-forties. My income is modest. Having Tina would put an end to all my unrealistic goals. I would have to become a full adult. But would it be good for Jenny and Tony and Tina?
