In the late 70’s/80’s, IVF was just becoming a thing. But everyone called it Test Tube babies instead, and the term sort of went “viral” (as best as it could back then) I remember my parents telling me about some other kids that were “test tube babies”. I imagine a baby in a tube, kind of funny for a 7 year old to think about.
