... that makes babies.

Gosh. What a surprise.

My very fertile talks-to-God-pro-life mom was unusual because she told us all about sex and contraception years before we were even interested. Maybe age six. What??? Penis-in-Vagina??? You got questions, my mom's got Too-Much-Information answers. She also told us if we happened to have any kids to bring 'em on home, the more the merrier. She loves babies.

Not a single one of us wanted any more babies in the house, even if they were our own. I was still changing diapers when I was twelve.

Not one of us reproduced until we were good and ready.
