The scene: Human Growth and Development class. We are discussing adulthood, ages 40-65.
Professor: “Why do you think married couples have less sex during this stage of their life?”
Girl #1: “‘Cause their bodies be triflin’.”
Girl #2: “‘Cause the dude can’t get it up.”
Words of wisdom. Again.

First, my birthday. We all know how important birthdays are, right?

I'm Allison Barton, a 22-year old new mother and student. I'm highly literal, occasionally moody, obsessed with Burt's Bees and compulsive about spreading butter perfectly onto toast. I am a wanna-be-Geek, loving all things Apple, and I hate competing with my friends. I am immensely loyal, not fastidious, and love to cook.
This is me:
I live with my wonderful partner, Zach, and our beautiful baby boy, Alexander. Alex was born on August 28, 2007. He is the most amazing little person that I could have ever imagined knowing. Zach is a software engineer and hopes Alex will love computers as much as he does. We live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This is my family:
Aren't they adorable?
