Ahava did not comment on the age disparity, though she sorely wanted to. After all, wasn't she twenty-five, and her soon-to-be half-sibling probably under ten? It wasn't as big as that one, but... well, eight mothers. Somebody was redefining multiple marriage. "That's good, I guess," she said. "That nobody has too many kids. A lot of kids can get overwhelming." Not to mention the physical effects. There was a reason Ahava wasn't going into obstetrics.
