    I think we all know somebody like this.

    I've heard that "the good thing about babies is that they don't go around showing everyone pictures of their grandparents".

    One of the options I got was:

    <pre>Vi ĉiam parolis pri viaj araneoj. </pre>

    O.O

      In my house 'hundoj' would also be correct.

        Why not geknaboj? Even if it means kids instead of children, wouldn't it still work?

        Because you don't know whether they are "ge-". They may be of only one gender.

        Would idoj instead of infanoj work?

        It probably would, but it's not really the same thing. Infanoj are little ones, whereas idoj are offspring. Talking about you infanoj you talk about how cute they are and what they did. Idoj on the other hand can long since be adults.

        Can "children" also be expressed as "geinfanoj"?
