While I can imagine in polite conversation asking if someone has kids, and in conversation with good friends if they are going to have kids, it’s hard to believe that people still ask couples, “When are you going to have kids?“
Fortunately, should someone ask you, now you have some good answers to give them. My favorite:
“I don’t breed well in captivity.”

The pun-est in me likes this one:
“I can’t bear children.”
Which works best if you then refuse to explain yourself. Bursting into tears would be a good add-on, too.
Or if you were to do it in you very best George Sanders voice (Shere Kahn).
Anyone remember the old Bickersons radio plays of the 1940s, featuring Don Ameche and Frances Langford?
Blanche asked her husband why he didn’t like children. He replied, “Because I can’t bear them!”
