Thank you for the laugh:)
In the same vein, when people ask about why one would bother to
breastfeed when there is  scientifically formulated AIM available, I
say, " You can have a baby by scientifically calculated IVF, but
making a baby the old fashioned way is so much more fun!"

Ummm... yes.... it helps to choose your audience carefully :)

warmly, norma, wishing all her Jewish friends here a Happy New Year.

P.S. I am sure you know that I am NOT knocking IVF! It is a blessing
for so many people who otherwise would not be able to have children,
just like AIM also has a place in a few, very rare cases .
