I did feel a tinge of jealousy. (Sniff!)
I used to run off girlfriends with that line "When I get married, I want a baker's dozen kids". Ka-peeeowww! they were gone!
I'd druther do a pre-maritial divorce, than a post marital one, was my logic.
The Book of books says "Be fruitful and multiply". So, I just figured everybody else was wrong.

I think when you look around at the world population, it's time to go back and say "Yes, Boss, we done it. Now what?"
YIKES- HANNIBAL- DON'T GET NATE TO THINKING HE'S IN A COMPETION!!!!
Yeah, you're probably right. He's probably already taken the rest of the day off!

That's "we done did it..."
I love her answer about maybe having more kids. She says something about "we never close that door". I'm thinking it may not be closed, but, it sure gets blocked a lot.;-)
Nate's gonna think this is like that "throwdown with Bobby Flay" cooking show and run right home to get ta work!
I don't think the quote was referring to only quantity, but mostly quality. That is the problem today, quality is not often enough the first consideration.
A serious study in world populations, results in a mixed version of opinions. I have read enough, to seriously think it is a better deal to follow the Book of Books, than to believe Peter Singer, and Ted Turner. So, I follow what I place my faith in.
Cheers. We all have to live with the results of where we place our faith.
Here is a link for those interested in some of the other side of the story, than the one mass fed to all the boys and girls in schools.
