Rule #100 – Even though Lois acts like she never wants children, this is just to disguise the fact that she’s scared of being a failure as a mother, as she assumes Ellen Lane was. (She wasn’t a complete failure or Lois wouldn’t be the wonderful woman that she is.) Lois wants very much to have children, and even broke down in tears when she learned that biologically we were incompatible to produce offspring. I’m sorry.
