“Marie-Jo, would you mind staying at the office later tonight? I’d ask Sophie, but she’s got four kids…”

Sensitive? Yes.

But equally discriminatory against the childless, perhaps. I mean, maybe I chose a sterile existence that ends in my death, so I could do something else with my evenings… like play ultimate frisbee, volunteer, or just plain watch TV while eating a bag (oh my God, the whole frikkin bag) of Doritos.

Of course I’m not that insensitive. I don’t think Mom should stay at work while her four kids need her. I’m just saying neither should I.
