Actually, you’re wrong in my case. I have no trouble at all borrowing other people’s teenagers (provided they’re not awful brats). Three of my former students will be spending a Saturday afternoon and overnight with me soon. They’re all just about to have their b’nai mitzvot.

I like kids. I like them from infants all the way up to twentysomethings. I regularly have my friends’ kids here for an overnight so their parents can celebrate their birthdays or anniversaries without having to look after four kids. And my doors will always be open for friends and family like that.
