 RH> Or discomfort zone.  Two friends had 10 kids; the second one ended up

Probably it wasn't because of the kids... although I suppose that it
might have been a contributing factor... :)  My one sister had 10 kids,
they're still together, and now the kids are mostly all grown now, and
having kids... nobody's gone for 10 yet, though... (G)

 RH> Another friend had his twins, kids six and seven, just
 RH> after the oldest daughter's wedding.

If I'm parsing that correctly, the twins, born just after the oldest
daughter's wedding, are now six or seven....  Or was it two sets of
twins....?  :)
