Betty, if you were going to extend it to Sgt. Pepper's dimensions I'd suggest to add Julia Bates. (Was there any mother to surpass her in quantity?)

Fill me in, please. I don't know anything about Julia Bates - how many children did she produce?

How about adding Mary Devlin who married Edwin Booth? She was the mother of Edwina.

17 (s-e-b-e-n-t-e-e-n!!) Now imagine for how long she had been pregnant.

Let's not forget Izola Mills D'Arcy, the mother of Booth's daughter, Ogarita
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Today is my daughter's 40th birthday. It took 2 1/2 days in labor to introduce her to the world. There is no way I would have gone through that experience another sixteen times! My hat is off to Julia.

Wasn't it a miracle to survive so many deliveries in those days? Just last week my best friend (even though her midwife was most experienced) has almost bleeded to death because she had insisted to deliver at home.

I know I'm going to regret this, but what does RogerM have to do with your pregnant best friend and her home delivery?

Yes, Laurie, honi soit qui mal y pense, Gene! But reconsidering that Lincoln spelled "very" with double "r" almost throughout his life, what shall I say about my future options? (Please imagine a cheshire cat smile here...)

Thank you, Joseph. Would you mind driving five hours to change another light bulb in my kitchen?

P.S. This is an inside joke that only Joe, Betty, and Wes will understand.
