Di, like Chatty, I never sit around and talk about my children unless asked. I also don't ask people if they have children. I did have a 70-year old friend who used to tell people that she and her husband had never had children but were still trying. I thought it was cute.

We never know. I went out with a man on a first date and asked if he had any children from his first marriage (I knew he had been married before but that's all). He said, "I did have children. My wife and son were killed in the airliner crash outside of Detroit a few years ago." I choked on my tongue but he said it was okay. How was I to know? Most people don't know that what they are saying or asking can cause pain.
