The best birth control is other people's children.

I gotta say, it's been the exact opposite for me.

One couple has kids, and everyone passes around the baby making cooing faces. Six months later, half the block is pregnant.

Add in that there's this reflexive desire in a big community of like-aged friends/family for our kids to be friends, too. My wife has eight or nine different cousins who are all her age. And we all had kids within a year or two of one another.

I used to agree but my hormones tell me otherwise.

Clapping ovaries, eh? That's the noise that IT'S BABY-MAKING TIIIIIIME!

That's "klapperende eierstokken" in Dutch, BTW.
