Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

My annual child care costs have always run around $12K; sometimes more.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

They are very expensive.

Major cities worse, of course, poor Sparky. (Athens GA, $125 a week per kid is standard; Durham NC major centers were $1200-$1400 a month for an infant. I remained stunned by how cheap it is down here.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you have to pay for childcare, there's only so cheap it can get in the first few years. New York State has "universal pre-kindergarten," but it's only a partial day, so you'd still have to pay for the rest of the time, assuming full-time work. Even on a sliding scale, it's not that cheap....
Oh! I just realized I can blame Cee-Lo for the fact that I said "Fuck you!" right to my coworker's face at lunch. In a jovial way, but still. (She was saying that Kat von D isn't an artist.)

Think of it as a retirement plan... they're the ones who will be paying for the nursing home you're relegated to in your twilight years.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Only if they're rich.

GA has universal PreK, and after school is only $6 a day! Go team Funded By The Lottery!
But in the summers, the YMCA at $115 a week adds up, man.

Still kind of a gamble. I won't be paying for my parents' retirements (mom's already in hers and their plan is to spend everything and just leave us with nothing, which is fine by us.)
