Jerome: Congratulations! I just heard that
you’re pregnant with twins.
Paula: Thanks. We’re very excited, although
I’m a little worried about a multiple
birth.
Jerome: I come from a long line of
multiple births. My father is an identical
twin and he had cousins who are
fraternal twins.
Paula: I see what you mean.
Jerome: That’s not even the half of
it. My maternal grandmother
gave birth to triplets and my aunt
had quadruplets.
Paula: Wow, multiple births certainly run
in your family. What about your
immediate family?
Jerome: You’re not going to believe this, but
my mother had octuplets. I have
seven brothers and sisters the same age.
Paula: And all of you survived?
Jerome: Yup, every single one of us.
We often joke that my mother didn’t have
babies. She had a litter!
