Dear Abby columns on twins wishes and family humor
A reader asks for guaranteed twins through artificial insemination. Abby says no one can guarantee twins and cites the rarity of twin births. The column then shifts to readers discussing wasted restaurant food and senior discounts, a daughter’s hurt over a mother’s facelift idea, and a teenager’s foul language echoing a grandmother, ending with Abby’s standard contact and booklet information.
