- “Are all of these kids yours?” Nope. Just the six right here. The others? No idea where they came from!
- “Is the father the same for all of them?” Absolutely! He’s quite the catch. I even have a picture of him in his swim trunks—interested?
- “Don’t you know how that happens?” Of course! My charming husband and I are well aware of the facts of life. It’s a bit odd that you’re questioning my knowledge on reproduction.
- “Are you a Catholic family?” Indeed, we are, and we embrace it wholeheartedly—especially the part about having a lot of kids. Is it a sin to drop a few swear words? We might need to work on that.
- “Haven’t you considered birth control?” Yes, I have. I just wish your parents had thought about it more carefully before raising you—manners, anyone?
- “Are you always in the mood?” Right now? Not really! Conversing with you is not exactly a turn-on.
- “How do you plan to afford college for all of them?” We’re thinking of selling a kidney from each child who wants to attend—two for Ivy League. Interested in buying?
- “Do you have a favorite child?” Of course! It’s whoever is the least annoying at the moment.
- “Are you planning to have more kids?” More kids? No, but I am planning on more quality time with my handsome husband. I have a photo of him in his…well, you get the idea.
- “Do you drive a bus?” Nope, but if I did, I’d probably take it right up your nose! Just kidding—while we aren’t a band, we do often have extra kids around. For now, we just tie the extra kids to the roof of our SUV like a Christmas tree.
Bonus question: “Is your house always a mess?” Yes, but it was a mess long before the kids arrived. It was mostly due to my hangovers. Now it’s a whirlwind of activity, and I can barely keep up. “Clean” is all about perspective—don’t mind the walls, but the kids’ clothes are fresh and tidy!
We’re not a circus; we’re a large family full of loving, curious, and joyful kids who make life rich and enjoyable. Feel free to ask questions, just skip the rudeness!
