ROFL!!!

My wife and I recently attended a sports banquet for one of our kids' sports teams at a local restaurant. It was one of those events that I wanted to go to about as much as I wanted to get three teeth pulled. But my wife assured me it would be fun. I didn't believe her but I came anyway.
We've gone to so many of these things as my five kids are on at least three sports teams. All the kids sat together at a long table and all the parents sat at another table with the coaches. I have a theory about sports teams, the worse a team, the more coaches it has. And this team had lots of coaches.
We were seated with about eight coaches and some parents we didn't really know.
So what's the first thing someone we don't really know will bring up as a conversation starter? Well, it's the only thing they know about us which is that we have five kids. This one coach said he knew it was us when we arrived because he saw all five of our kids walking in. "That could only be the Archbolds," he laughed.
The mom directly across from me, who I didn't really know and hadn't seen at many games, leaned in conspiritorially and asked, "Who has five children? I'd kill myself if I had that many kids."
Dopey me, I actually felt embarrassed for her. I figured she couldn't hear that well and didn't know who they were talking about and would regret her comment when she learned it was the man and woman sitting directly across from her.
I shouldn't have worried. The coach seemed flummoxed, pointed at us, and then quickly engaged in a conversation on the other side of the table.

Yup. She actually said it.
Enjoy the humor, ping!
Why put conditions on it?
There is nothing wrong with having several children. White people had better start making at least 3 children per family in order to replace losses if they want to maintain majority status in their nations. The rapid influx of third-world immigrants will make Whites minorities in their own nations by 2050 if allowed to continue at current levels. Whites are already less than 10% of the world’s population, whereas Whites of European descent were 35% of the world’s population in 1900.
Five isn’t so many. I have 4 brothers and a sister. My dad had 4 brothers and 5 sisters and my mom had three brothers and two sisters. I only have 4 children. So sad.
The mom directly across from me, who I didn’t really know and hadn’t seen at many games, leaned in conspiritorially and asked, “Who has five children? I’d kill myself if I had that many kids.”

As I read thatm a thought entered my mind and I would have said it:
“If somone like YOU had five children, I’m very sure one of them would have done you the favor.”
I would bet her husband would kill himself rather than have to help her create five kids!! ;-)
I'm guessing this guy won't win any "Father of the Year" awards anytime soon.
Taught me many lessons, on sharing, cooperation, and patience to name a few.,
5 isn’t that many, really. I know many families that have 5 kids. They’re all wonderful families ... and God loving.
That was a heartless thing that the woman said to him about having that many.
ROFL!!!
Brilliant comeback!’’!!!!!!!! Post of the day.
Do you have any links on that?
I have three children close in age. They love each other and have so much fun together. It’s too late now, but sometimes I wish we had more.
I know he thinks he's being funny, but I really, really hate this. A couple of years ago, I got so tired of being beaten down over ruining everyone's lives by having children - all by myself, nobody else involved, of course - that I dieted until I stopped menstruating.
I'm eating now, for Jesus and my parents.
I know this pastor from a small town who was well known by his family of 11 children.
One day a man was visiting the church and told him “I understand you’re the man with 11 children. I wish I had 11 children”
The pastor laughed and said “Wow! I don’t think you know what you’re saying”
The visitor replied “Yes I do, I have 12!”
My family had “only” 4 kids. But because our family was stable, religious and healthy we seemed to help raise a number of the neighbor kids who came from broken or screwed up homes. There was always more than 6 at the dinner table, LOL.

Wow, a parent at a suburban youth sports banquet said something stupid? Stop the presses.
I dated a gal for a long time - she had 12 siblings. She and two of her sisters were born within two years! She said the same thing - she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. The dad earned a good living and was able to afford all of the extra expenses. The kids that were still at home (8?) were all very nice and active and responsible.
We broke up for other reasons, but it did send a chill up my spine when she said that she would like to raise a large family as well!
My Mother was one of 13 children. Her parents wanted as many as they could have. They were a very close family.
They lived on a thousand acre farm and were pretty well off. As one might think, they all worked from around the age of six. Every one of them were solid citizens except the youngest.
He was pretty wild but us kids loved for him to visit. He was always up to something fun. It took until he was around 50 but he too eventually turned into a solid citizen and his kids and grandchildren became unusually successful.
Daddy came from a family of 9 kids. We sort of looked upon them as a small family.
