  So I worked at a dental office, and in the middle of a filling, a patient jolted up and ran to the bathroom. She was in there for 20 minutes or so, and then walked out of the office.

  I think about that often. The people who have the most kids are generally the ones who can’t afford them and have a harder time providing extra-curricular activities or those with more extreme religious beliefs who may opt out of scientific education.
