MOTHER OF 20

Mother's Day always reminds me of Lillian, a woman I met in Costa Rica who has borne 20 children. Despite having given birth almost every year for more than two decades, this tough little lady still cooks over an antique wood stove and can make a mean gallo pinto. (In case you were wondering, the Guinness Record for the most children is 69, birthed by a Russian peasant in the 1700s.) And I thought having one sounded difficult.
