You know what? My fault. I should have started out by asking if you wanted solutions or if you just wanted me to listen while you complain.

[As if Loki has been seriously trying to provide solutions rather than trolling.]

I'll be an active listener! What I'm hearing is that you feel there are too many babies in your way, and they're too noisy. Is that correct?

I sort of do. It's my brand. [He can tone it down a little though.]

I actually quite like children. They're completely amoral, all mischief and lies. Even babies. It's not very sophisticated deception, but they still make the attempt, even before they can speak.

Maybe not mischievous, but definitely manipulative. Think about it, because you're right: they're not clever enough to eat, they can't even hold up their own heads, everything around them is a blur. The one thing they can do is make godawful noises, but they do that so well they make the people around them come running to fix the problem when they do it.

They do it so well, a fearsome creature like yourself compares them to land mines, no less. They're loud, self-centered little monsters, that's how they survive.

I'm not saying I want one, mind you. But I approve of their technique.
