Solitude

To my right, a couple that have probably been here all day day enjoy the solitude of this hour of night, yet they are not alone, it just feels that there are a lack of people about. A man is fishing for who knows what. 2 surf rods and no surf. I hope he catches his dinner. 

A father and son walk by. Father humouring son, obviously tired after a long day at the beach. The wife, the dog walker I was going to mention earlier has returned and alas the family are reunited for what was probably mere seconds of separation.

The family, mother, father, child. 

Why 1 child? does that 1 child not need a friend/sibling to harass. This is why we have siblings. Never have 1 child.  Think of the boredem you drown them in. Always surrounded by adults. Adults don't have the lack of attention to certain details, the energy, the mobility, the flexibility. You as an adult will never be able to communicate with a child the way a child can communicate with another child. 

Don't deny children the pleasure of sibling unconditional love. It is worth more then having to remortgage the house.
