Re: How many children do you want to have?!
I'd like 11 sons. Preferably within a few years of each other (so a couple of big litters would be good). Then I will have the makings of a new football/cricket team. Infact, maybe a few more just in case some don't survive the winter.
Possibly a few daughters, to marry for diplomatic purposes (possibly to the Almohads or to favour one of my generals)
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.

Re: How many children do you want to have?!
Maybe. I'd need to know that you were right for my daughter and that she'd be happy with you. With that in mind, what are your piety, command and dread? Oh and do you have any nasty vices I should be fearful of?

None, child rearing is a very poor investment of time and money.

Rofl. I can recite that script verbatim (and Schrek) thanks to my 3 year old grandson. We shout out the good parts together; great fun. But as you say, I'm always happy to see him ride off, smiling, after a day with gramps in Mommy's car returning to Mommy's house.
And I think you guys are right: it must be hormonal. I remember not wanting any (at 18), going along with the idea (20's), really enjoying the Daddy gig (30's & 40's), and now getting used to the gramps role.
I still haven't taught li'l Jake yet how to "pull my finger"...I'm saving that for later.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
