The reason I ask:
I bought a Pennsylvania Dutch painted plaque to hang on my back porch, years ago. BC, as we call it, Before Children.
It hung there, looked so perfect, and before we knew it, we had 3 kids under the age of 3, no multiple births involved.
No one told me, and I didn't think to investigate it, that this particular Pennsylvania Dutch sign was the sign of FERTILITY!!!!!
