Title: CA

Perhaps some people find humor in how children are conceived.  Perhaps it is fun to tease those who cannot conceive because they are of the same sex or if heterosexual one of them cannot contribute to conception.  >From experience, us males who are sterile and have to seek out sperm donors to have children, the issue is not humorous--rather it is a very personal and a very hard decision to make.  You see, a child that is conceived in a situation in which one parent is non-biological is considered abnormal, perhaps un-American by many and it seems by some on this e-mail list.  Tease about politics--but when it comes to conceiving children that is not a teasing issue for a great many of us.

6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
