Ok, Naru-sama just earned a whole lot of approval in my book over this.

His wife is 40 years old too. I know that women can have children at 40, however.....


They'd been trying for so long and to just now have a child, I think the Japanese should just change the law.

I'd support an empress.

Why not get the baby a sex change? I think it is still early enough. No perm. damage to the psyche.
