"After college I think I'm going to take a year off and backpack through Europe." "I want to get to know the world." "I'll only stay in hostels and eat what I can scrounge or what others offer. I'll take my time and learn how different cultures live and relate to one another. I will gain a new perspective on life and form a set of ideals on which to live my own life." "Eventually my travels will take me back home. Over time I'll get a job, get married, have 2.5 kids, get a mortgage and two SUVs, and slowly forget whatever ideals I picked up in Europe. I'll panic to myself off and on for about 10 years, and then ultimately find some level of happiness knowing I probably had no real choice in anything anyway." "Well, send me a postcard." "I will."
The 0.5 kid is going to be messy. (But being a half-wit himself, he can probably do it.)
