Did anyone else laugh as hard as Nora when Kevin mentioned having a kid?

I know (think) what he really wants is for Nora to have someone to replace (not that one kid can take the place of another) Lily...and her departed children.

Still, as messed up as things are, as unsettle as things are...and as chaotic as his behavior is...did he really think she would even consider such an outrageous idea?

I guess in his mind "desperate times call for...."

Perhaps he feels her emotionally slipping away from him and the suggestion that they have a child was also his attempt to keep her tied to him?

When she tells him she'll be away in ST. LOUIS for a couple of days you can see how disappointed he is about it.

Then when she tells him she's going DOWN UNDER he also wants to go with her.

PLUS this is also suppose to be happening just a few days from the 7TH ANNIVERSARY of the DEPARTURES which probably also means KEVIN's is freaked out about that.

Even if he doesn't believe in it being THE END of the WORLD, he'd still be facing lots of JOB STRESS on that day from people in the town that do believe it.

So maybe the suggestion to have a baby was also a way of saying he doesn't believe THE END is coming?

I'm really liking those two...especially the one about the anniversary being so near. I can see him NOT wanting to be away from her on October 14.
