Allowing the poet Wordsworth his due artistic license with logic and biological plausibility, the child may be the father of man but as a topic of conversation it is also the mother of all bores.
Many adults might go into paroxysms of delight listening to other adults talk about what a child had to say. For many others, listening to what a child did might be an all consuming passion. With others still , evaluating the merits and demerits of a child's class teacher might be a lifetime's vocation. Some adults could be addicted to discussing extra-curricular development camps.
It must be all very exciting. And you are all for talking about kids.
Just so long as you can insert a couple of light years distance between yourself and the conversation.
