If you aren't sure about having kids... this might seal the deal.

13. My biggest problem with children is the noise.

I don't respond well to loud and unexpected noises (a neighbor used to have one of those loud-for-the-sake-of-loud motorcycles, and would always gun it if he knew I was home, just to make me jump and yell at him.) Kids screaming and yelling bother me similarly.

And yet, I often smile at them when they're doing something funny, or whatever. If they were just like that 100% of the time, well, I might have been a parent. But, they're not, and I'm often cringing when they start running around busy restaurants and such, not wanting to see an accident between them and a server. I'm afraid that if I was a parent, then my kids would be on leashes when out to dinner with them...
