      I have heard that kidney stones are comparable to giving birth, by women who have experienced both.

      So I put it on the level of my buddy who keeps getting kidney stones by overindulging in mountain dew. He knows that enjoying too much mountain dew has periodic excruciatingly painful consequences, and yet in the moment another mountain dew sounds pretty good…

      I think it’s the years of raising an actual child that’s the real incentive to avoid having another one.
