Another story from my one Dutch prof: A colleague.

At the same holiday party where she told that other story, me and another grad student were talking with her over wine, and while they were talking scholarship, she brought up some scholar and his book that the other guy knew and I didn't.

"Who is that?", I was like.

"Oh," she was like, "He teaches at [a major Catholic university] and specializes in [his specialization]. I've known him for years. He and his wife are always taking their children to swim-meets. It's actually quite amazing, really; they have 8 children, and she looks 19. I don't know how she did it! Of course, that was years ago, she probably doesn't look the same now."
