I know you know this, but it's not just kids. Of the five or so births in my circle of friends/associates, only ONE was conceived intentionally, or even within a long-term relationship. Most were pretty new in their relationships. So, unfortunately, the "it won't happen to me" syndrome hits people in their late 20s and early 30s just as often. Most of the time I actually think they've been dodging bullets for 10-15 years as far as not taking birth control properly, or even at all.
