"Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth."

-Robert A. Heinlein

  2. And, as a mother, you can now empathize with the drowning at birth part.

    Average, though? Methinks not.

    Yes, as a mother looking back, I can certainly see how much easier it would have been to drown them.
