LOL - my brother and I don't look a bit alike, and we have a common last name, so most teacher didn't know we were related :-).

The cashier in Wal-mart when the kids and I went shopping earlier said she was one of twelve children. That's not unusual for people 45 and older around here. Wandering around during the day with seven kids, I'm often approached by older people from large families who want to tell their stories.

That is so cool. I am the oldest of 8 children and have two aunts with 10 and one with 11. So I have a lot of cousins. And no, our names are not Billy Joe Bob or Cletus:). I loved growing up in my large family and especially the way my parents raised us. We certainly didn't get spoiled and were thankful for what we had.
