Dear Donna Death,

I have been committing nameless blasphemies with Yog-Sothoth for three months, and the anniversary of our engagement is almost here. While I'm very happy with him, every time I bring up the subject of children, he gets very cold and starts muttering something about "Dunwich". I grew up in a large family and wish to raise one myself. What can I do?

Dear Maternal,

Some members of the Older set are just not cut out for parenthood, and they know it. The generation gap does exist. If you really want a large family (say "a thousand young") you won't be the first to prevail upon that interdimensional gigolo, but you'll be pretty much on your own taking care of them. Expect no diapers changed by Yog-Sothoth.
