A good mother need assurance.

 I just got out of the shower.
Before I got in, I was standing in front of the mirror brushing my hair when the random thought "You know, I would be a good mother." occurred.

I can say that the thought wasn’t completely random because I had been previously discussing the possibility with two separate people. At the time, however, I wasn’t even thinking about children, I was just thinking about how odd the streaks in my hair are. It was an especially questionable thought because I constantly put myself down and say that I will never be a good parent. What’s more, I often think of myself as a father figure in a child’s life which is…peculiar, to say the least.

Is there anyone with any thoughts on this? Anything at all would be appreciated. I’m a bit shocked at myself, honestly.
