"Do you know how many weddings that will be?"

"Do you know how many cars you will have to buy when they turn 16?"

"Do you know how many college tuitions that will be?"


As if I cannot count....

1.Don't know
2. 0
3.Who knows what they will do

My 8 year old daughter has told me adamantly that she wants to go into the military.. No family military background but have friends in different military branches.. She said if she decides to go to school that the military will help with that.. I'm thinking how does an 8 year old think about these things??

My favorite (sort of) "Don't you have a TV?"

Response - Yes, and if you think TV is more fun you are doing it wrong...

Their faces are the best response.

We have 7 (all ours together) 22, 18, 13, 7, 5, 4, and 2. I am sitting at 44 now the only regret I have is that we paused between #3 and #4. We lost a baby in there and weren't able to handle the emotional risk of getting preggers again.

Do you know what causes that?


I have a bunch of retorts for this that I use.

'Yeah. And only two of them are mine, so you can imagine how pissed I am.'

'Tequila and poor choices'

'We've been married almost 10 years now, so we use the sniper method of birth control. One shot, one kill.'

'She's Catholic and I'm half-jackrabbit. We sort of expected this.'

Think you missed my point.. I know we are crazy.. I was saying why would someone else go shopping with 5 kids that weren't theirs..
That would be worse than shopping with 5 children that were yours..

We have four (none together) 21,20,18 and 15. They are at the ages now where they are even more fun. Vacations where we go white water rafting, hunting, fishing and hiking. It is awesome to see the oldest two becoming productive members of society.

This may not be fair, but anytime someone has 5 or more kids, I automatically assume they are super-religious.
