why 2 is enough

I thought we were 1 and done.  But then suddenly, Harper came along.  And the band was complete. But there's no need for us to have more children.  It's like we've reached our own quota.  It's like how much do you really need?  How many birthday parties can you throw/attend?  How much room on the sidewalk can you take up?  I already feel like we're annoying hipsters without kids in Brooklyn.  Why anger them even more? Because of tradition?  Because you came from a big family?  Because you're so rich, you don't know what to do with your money?  Because you want a boy?  I get tired of hearing people's excuses in why they feel the need to have more than 2 kids.  2 is enough.  Trust me.  It will test the limits of your relationship.  It will occupy your weekends and weeknights.  It's enough.  And when you have 3 or more kids, you start to take up too much room on the sidewalk. And you really start to annoy the hipsters. And when you have 3 or more, you'll move to the suburbs. And drive an SUV. Where you'll be like everyone else.  So do yourself a favor, stop at 2.
