My 82-year-old mother-in-law told me that she once asked her mother how come she only had two children, despite being married quite young.

The answer was "Because I behaved myself'" which I always thought was a really sad answer.

Grandma-In-Law probably just didn't want to answer the question because she thought it was incredibly invasive and rude.

Okay, and it's perfectly fine for the parent not to answer the question, or dance around it.
