I would lay money that her six-year-old daughter ends her life childless after helping to bring up that lot.

Do multiple births run in families?

I have a vague feeling that one kind of twins do and the other don't, but I can't at all recall whether it's fraternal twins that do and identical that don't or vice versa.

There, that was helpful, wasn't it? ;)

Oh, very. Is the baby related to you?

No, it's medusa and dr_atheist's Felix, who now has a full head of hair and looks nothing like that. I made it into an icon to weird out all the people who've heard me do the 'I like children, but I also like being able to give them back' speech, but I keep finding uses for it so it stayed. :)
