Michael Jackson is one of the reasons I want to be a mom

Because the idea of being able to hold a baby and dance to "Off the Wall" is just too heartbreakingly good. I remember the first time I heard that album - in 6th grade music class one day, our teacher brought in her copy and played side one. It was the greatest thing I had ever heard and I still love it. I want to be there when my child hears it for the first time too - albeit at a seriously young age so he or she doesn't have the capacity to tell me that it is crap.

Not the best reason to parent, but not the worst one either.

It's not a bad reason at all. Googling 'Thriller Dance Steps' with a 9 year old girl is pretty good, too.
