If you did the whole married with children thing backwards. . .


If you did it all backwards then you'd have a kid before you had sex. You'd have a house after you have the kid. You'd meet somewhere down the road after you had a kid and after you bought the house, and, quite possibly, after you had sex. Before you owned a house, you'd sleep together every night, and after, you'd have separate rooms. You'd be entirely casual before you met and quite formal after you knew each other for some time. The wedding would happen instead of a funeral, assuming you both die on the same day. You'd vacation in Europe after children happened and after you had a house because after all of that happened, you'd no longer be settling down. You'd be more eager than ever to lift your roots. You'd look like shit when you met and get more beautiful as you aged. The more I write, the better this sounds. You'd work late and cheat on each other before you even knew each other, but after you had kids, which makes it kinda bad, but then ok, 'cause you're kind of a single parent. You'd own a mini van when you're in your early twenties and an uber hip, yet pretty cheap, slightly used something in your late forties. Somethings aren't so good, but then again, you'd probably have crazy bedroom party time well into your seventies, maybe eighties, or even nineties. Old people are doing it.
