Plan "A" Thinkers

It is a Tuesday night, I’m sitting in the living room listening to my wife and daughter have their daily girly hour of power. Since im not a girl, I sit on the couch and act as if I’m not hearing a word. Our family pet Roxy seems to realize that there is no attention being paid to her so she starts to behave in a way that warrants immediate attention. She starts by pacing back and forth and then Roxy goes over to my wife and starts to nibble on her arm. As you might expect, the girly hour of power is over and Roxy is now getting all the attention she can handle. It might not be the attention she wanted but none the less, she is getting attention. I know this might sound sort of weird but I actually wondered if Roxy’s plan was to get attention; she accomplished her plan. She might need to work on deciding what type of attention she gets, but that girl got her some attention. Now that’s a Plan A! As I thought about how my pet was able to accomplish her Plan A, I couldn’t help but to wonder the times I’ve either got tired, quit, made an excuse, or aborted my Plan A and resorted to another plan, which really wasn’t a plan at all; just something I thought of to take my mind off of my Plan A. I’m willing to bet that there have been many times in your life, which your Plan A was left in the dust. Maybe there were obstacles that seemed insurmountable, not enough support, or the timing wasn’t right that prevented you from laboring with Plan A. If you’re reading this right now, you are a recipient of two people who hung in there and made you their Plan A. I say that because chances of getting pregnant from having one sexual experience are less than 12%. That means most people have to practice at having a baby unless they fall into that 12%. Not only did your parents make you their Plan A but they kept you as their Plan A. Please don’t take this wrong but society had a Plan B for you as soon as your father’s sperm hit your mother’s egg. That Plan B was called, “The Morning After Pill” or The Abortion Clinic.
