Re: American politics scares the bejesus out of me.
I think it comes from the fact that at some point in time (possibly the 1950s) the average household had 2.4 children and became symbolic of the nuclear family.
Of course that may all have been something I made up in my head many years ago and could have zero relation to reality in any size, way, shapre or form.
