英语课

   Jerome: Congratulations! I just heard that you’re pregnant with twins.


 
  Paula: Thanks. We’re very excited, although I’m a little worried about a multiple birth.
 
  Jerome: I come from a long line of multiple births. My father is an identical twin and he had cousins who are fraternal twins.
 
  Paula: I see what you mean.
 
  Jerome: That’s not even the half of it. My maternal 1 grandmother gave birth to triplets and my aunt had quadruplets.
 
  Paula: Wow, multiple births certainly run in your family. What about your immediate 2 family?
 
  Jerome: You’re not going to believe this, but my mother had octuplets. I have seven brothers and sisters the same age.
 
  Paula: And all of you survived?
 
  Jerome: Yup, every single one of us. We often joke that my mother didn’t have babies. She had a litter!
