But you're not supposed to have "several" children--you're supposed to have two! Big families are not consistent with the New World Order--they tend to be patriarchal, the mother tends to work full-time minding the children, and the kids consume too much of Mother Earth's resources!

By the way, I'm one of eight, and we thought we were doing just fine crammed into the back of our station wagon. How unenlightened we were.

When I was growing up (one of eight also), we all traveled in the back of an empty panel van, sitting on kitchen chairs because we couldn't afford better. We all held on to each other during stops and starts, so no one ever fell over or got hurt (okay, it would happen from time to time). It was weird, but what memories!
