"Hey Barbara how many kids do you want?"
"Well John you know I want six."
"...but Barbara 2 would be perfect - 1 girl and 1 boy..."
This conversation went on from 10/1957 til 10/1959. Between that time I had a beautiful daughter and a handsome son.
"See Barbara I told you it would be perfect."
I agreed they were great but the number of offspring I desired had not been reached. I didn't continue to debate this ridiculous conversation and was able to deliver a gorgeous son 29 months later. Trying to reach my goal I was blessed 17 months later on a beautiful night with my 4th baby--a feisty girl.
Much later John and I made a confession --secretly we both wanted 4 children and were very happy with the outcome.
Love, your MOM and Dad
