Another person suggested wishing on a falling star - that seems to incorporate best. But thanks for the ideas!

I tried wishing on a star often when I was a kid. Didn't work though. I stayed an only child.

hm. I'm not sure how I could work that into my story - it's about a little couple trying to have a baby, and buying into all the myths. It's actually an adoption story, so there's no sex ed in it - it's for a bit of a younger crowd.
Sleeping the night on the ancient Cerne Giant hill carving to bring fertility.

Writing a wish down and burying it in the garden, perhaps? I heard that in Africa.

You could try another way of course but its been done before. A wood carver and his wife always wanted a little boy.......

True, but even so such a statue could be worked into a story I'd think. Maybe the mother tells the kid that she went on a quest to a shrine where such a statue is to be found and shortly after she had her baby delivered by some miraculous way or something.

the baby story is finished, and I think it's pretty good.

now, if someone wants to write an intense quarrel or fight scene for me.... I don't do conflict well, but as someone pointed out in another forum, people rationally talking out their differences and coming to a compromise makes for a rather boring ending.

True, story = conflict more often than not.

Even my psychiatrist tells me I'm too nice. My kids and husband agree. It makes writing conflict scenes really difficult.
