I Can't Use It

Some child-free people say they don't understand how any adult can enjoy the company of small children. They roll their eyes when anyone tells cute kid stories, but frequently, these same people constantly post photos of their cats and dogs and go on and on about the way Fluffy plays with a wad of paper or likes to jump on their lap.

I like animals. I would get a dog if I had enough space and time to care for it properly. But I could never muster up the level of enthusiasm for pets, especially cats, that many of my friends express.
