143. How big a family should one have?

Scene:  Buenos Aires.  Following a family discussion on having to share a room with one’s parents until (hypothetically) more children appear on the scene, which would necessitate the move to a bigger home with more bedrooms.

Mini female cousin (3):  Ma, I’ve decided.  I am going to have my own room in two.

Maxi female cousin (34, her mother):  In two years?

Mini cousin:  No, in two brothers’ time.

Gustavo’ comment:  My cousin says that with those parameters, the child will be sleeping with them forever…
