Eight kids in less than nine years!  Amazing!  Remarkable!

She used to claim that every one of her children was delivered on its respective due date.  I used to attribute that to euphoric recall; but there's another possibility.  Even if my mother was ever unreliable or undependable, she was always dutiful ... to the point that, if a doctor told her she was to give birth on a particular date then, by jove, she would give birth on that date.
