I don't want to have children

JUST A SIMPLE CONVERSATION

COLLEGUE: so do you have any children?
ME: no, I don't intend to have any.
C: ha! ha!(she laughs)what does your husband say?
M: Well it's a mutual decision.
C: how long have you been married?
M: more than a year now.
C: she laughs again-that's why you are saying that.
M: no, its not one of those things-saying just for the heck of it.
C: no no after some time your body will start demanding a child.
M: no, I think it's the demand of the mind and the society.
C: (she pauses for a minute)so do your parents and in-laws know about it?
M: how does it matter?
C: if they hear you they will kick you out.
M: out from where?
C: from the world…
M: well ma'am, drug dealers, murderers, politicians, lawyers, industrialists, you and me, we all live in the same society. So who is kicking whom out of this world?
