See? Women LOVE to be barefoot and pregnant.
*duck*
We named ours with the same letter. We only have 2 though.
Thought you'd get a kick ping
The great Saint Catherine of Sienna was the 25th child born to her parents. The world would have been deprived of a great saint if her parents had stopped at number 24.
Among other things, she was the one who persuaded the Pope to return to Rome from his exile in Avignon, which was critical for the health of the Catholic Church.
More power to the Duggars.
Could be worse. Next kid is slated for "Jingest".
I was with my third. He was born December 29. So during the Christmas family gathering, I got the best seat in the house, people kept bringing me plates and refilling my drink, and I could say, "I'm eating for two, you know." Mmmmmmm, holiday buffet..... Of course he swears now that we must hold back some of his best Christmas presents to give him on his birthday, so there are downfalls.
Ya shoulda called me last summer!
I used to know a Federal LEO who was catholic and had 12 kids. They were the type kids the world could use many many more of.
His daughter who was as pretty as a speckled pup, used to baby sit for us. My daughter just loved her.
I love children too. I have two. But sixteen is bordering on insanity. I guess the guy wants to work till he is dead as dirt.
I hate to be guilty of profiling... but they LOOK like Republicans. (And not just because they are white southerners.) Look at the way they are dressed: Not a nose ring, ratty T-shirt or black lipstick in the bunch
Me too, coming from a family of eleven :^)
Oh MY!
Here's one for you:
Lady goes into the welfare office with her four sons to apply for subsistence. The welfare worker asks her the name of her son #1.
"Joe," she says.
"Ok, what is your second son's name?"
"Joe"
"Joe?" asks the worker. "What is son #3 named?"
"He's Joe too," replies the mom.
"Let me guess, your last son is also named Joe?"
"That's right! It makes it easier when I want to call them to dinner, or send them to bed. I just yell Joe, and they all come at once," explained the mom.
"Well, what do you do when you want their individual attention," asks the welfare worker.
"That's easy.....I just call them by their LAST name."
There was an old woman,
Who lived in a shoe,
she had so many children,
Her uterus fell out
How about "Jugular?"

Home Educators Ping!
The article doesn't mention it, but some posts say this is a homeschool family.
I see they take the whole "be fruitful and multiply" thing seriously. God bless them.
I don't know where they get the patience to handle that many kids. I am in awe.

THAT'S NOT JUST A FAMILY, THAT'S AN ELECTORAL PRECINCT!
I'd love to see pics of the bathrooms..(g)
And I bet YOU they get hit with the Alternative Minimum Tax.
