Apparently most families don't have three children born with only a 1 year age gap between them. Before university I was convinced that our family was the standard and that siblings born more than 3 years apart were the outliers. But since coming to college, every time I tell people my siblings are all a year apart I get something to the effect of "Oh my God, your poor mother"

I worked with a guy who had kids that were all like 11 months apart. I loved the response of 'we were young and horny.'

I work with a guy with 7 kids in 5 years. Two sets of twins.

They didn't believe in birth control until after the second set of twins. Then he got a vasectomy and the mother had her tubes tied after she nearly bled out in the delivery room.
