I'm in the same boat as Michelle. I don't have have kids, don't want kids. When someone hears that I have frogs and geckos they assume I have kids and when they hear I don't they think I'm strange. My coworkers (except for my boss) think they are cool and will ask how they are and want to see pictures. I get the "why frogs" question all the time.

I tell people that my pets are just as much work as their kids are, but I get to leave my kids at home!
