Once when visiting Honduras, I was having a casual conversation with a local construction worker and we got to talking about family.

I told him I had 7 kids. He looked at me with all sincerity and asked "You don't have a television?"

We have a TV. We believe children are a blessing from God and we'll take as many blessings as He'll give us. Many of my fellow country bumpkins believe as I do. I think religion has a big impact on the differences between rural and urban family reproduction.
