Get over it already. I'm not called Pandora.

Typical response from a Pandora.

Mine is common or garden and there has been in the family for years (about three centuries at least). Thought I was the last as more imagination came into play but my niece has just gone and kept the chain going.


Edit: by naming her son obviousment.

Fucking parents again.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

--Philip Larkin

That is such a depressing view, yet bitterly true.
Might as well nuke ourselves then.
They should put that quote on the walls of maternity wards.
