I've heard you talk about having grandkids so this post isn't for you. However, it might be of some help to some of your friends or maybe to those who post in here.
Years back, the first of my oldest brother's* two boys get married. Two or three years went by and there was never even the slightest hint of a grandkid popping out of the shoot.
The second son got married about 4 years after the first and Russell thought that boy would soon turn him and my sister in law into grandparents but, alas, nothing. Well, about 2 years passed and he and Stella were no closer to being grandparents than they ever were and both were getting desperate.
One day, for whatever reason, he told Stella to get in the car because they had some shopping to do. Russell took her to some department or toy store where they bought two rocking horses. After making the purchase, they first visited one son and gave him a horse and then the other. He gave both of the boys the same instructions after giving them the very fine play pony, "Fill er up". LOL
Well, both of my nephews are very fine boys and always listened to the Old Man so in about 10 or 11 months he and Stella had a beautiful granddaughter. And the other son and daughter in law? Well, the other daughter in law was very heavy with child during this time, in fact, she kinda looked like she was about to drop a rhino. And couple of months after the first grand appeared, Russell and Stella were presented with a grandson.
