Drewnoted, “Oh my god, I mean it is weird, men have babies in their like eighties and that’s not a euphemism or a joke. You had kids in your forties and people weren’t always gracious about it.”
“Yeah,” Hilaryresponded. “There’s one story that I found really interesting and I think I was attracted to this particular story because this one woman said, ‘How dare you. You’re too old and you won’t be old enough when your kids are older and my dad was my favorite person and he died when I was in my twenties, my early twenties and it’s just devastation’ and I related to it because my dad is also passed but he was one of my favorite people on earth and so I was drawn to that and I thought to myself well I would rather be born and have that person that was my favorite person and experience that than not at all. Do you know what I’m saying? So that’s how I took what she said.”
