      Yeah, everybody’s parents are fuckin between Thanksgiving and New Years.

      Anecdotally, I knew that years ago. I worked in a call center and got so bored that I’d mark the day in my yearly calendar when a customer had that birthday, and September and August filled up quick and had so many duplicates. Took me forever to fill up winter, though.

          Do you mean for the sex or giving birth? For the former, I’m guessing that’s why there’s a bump in December. For the latter, I wouldn’t be surprised if people made extra effort to give birth on valentine’s day. Plus, sex can induce labor if you’re close.
