Someone at Walmart yesterday asked if I was a driver for a large daycare center nearby. No, just my own kids. My mom's classic response: We had our family and the neighbor's family packed into a station wagon like college kids in a phone booth.
The gas station attendant apparently kept losing count. Finally he asked; "Is this all one family?"
Mom said, with a very straight face; "No sir! We left the rest of them home."

I see a lot of that in rural Utah and Idaho.
But the vehicle is usually a “Mormon Cadillac” - a Suburban.

I never wanted a Suburban.
When people ask, “Are these all your children?” I usually say, “No, one is at home studying, one’s at a friend’s house, one is in Singapore ...”
