The married-35-days sister, on whose ears many, many pleas to use any method of birth control fell silent, had three home pregnancy tests show positive results. Official doctor's visit is this upcoming week, but I hear those home tests are pretty accurate. And three of them had the same result...Plotting politicization of future niece or nephew.

Your family is great. It's like a book wherein you know what's going to happen to the characters, but you keep reading, amazed that it's actually true.
And in my experience, despite the oddness of trusting a stick you pee on, they've always been correct.
Oh, it gets better. Last week at my mom's b-day dinner, the same newly pregnant sister,who is a teacher, argued heatedly against feeding children whose parents owe lunch money. (My mom showed her the article about kids getting cheese sandwiches. Apparently in some WA schools it's a ham sandwich.) We tried to argue back about how hungry kids in her own classes are irritible, disruptive, and can't learn, but some of the disturbing rhetoric still echoing in my ears are: "lazy parents," "don't deserve to eat," and "don't deserve a handout."
(The irony: she chose the restaurant, then didn't offer to pay for any part of the bill, leaving me and our other sister and bro-in-law to pay the very large tab for six people.)
So the 18-year-plan to politicize the child begins...
That is better. Your sister sounds like a Cheney. If she wasn't your sister, I'd sincerely wish for her to not be able to pay for her kids' lunches (and I'm assuming she'll have stairstep kids).
so i guess kingdom ethics underneath the pillow didn't help.
