We had five. I've always thought that was a very nice size. Five is a nice number. Many Americans go for the number two. Curiously, the Lebanese members of my parish seem to prefer the number three, with a few exceptions. It's quite fascinating, IMHO. Why three? I pointed this observation out to one of them but they acted surprised, as if it were unplanned. One family, perhaps, but 5, 6, 7 families ... each with 3 children? The exceptions include one family where #3 was twins. It's somewhat of a conundrum.

I had read that some time ago on an MSM news site; not sure which. Perhaps they misunderstood (and I did not fact-check), but
here is the CDC information sheet. Since the onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days, it is probably reasonable to assume that the victim could be contagious up to 21 days from infection before symptoms begin to show.

Well, that is odd. I was replying to another thread entirely. Moderator, please delete the above thread or move it.

You were perfectly clear. I was addressing the person in the article, as well.

I thought three was the most difficult. Of course, my 3rd was Tom ... if I hadn’t been pregnant again before I knew what hit me, we wouldn’t have had seven more, easier children after him.

The truth is the truth. Call it what you like; I am not afraid of a word invented by a 20th century marxist.

That could be the basis of some funny jokes.

My wife and I had six children....
I got so sick and tired of obnoxious nosy busybodies asking us inane questions like:
"Are all of these kids yours"
"Don't you know what causes that"
"How much food stamps do you get"
"Are you Catholic"
I finally would tell them...
"You know you are right we have WAY TOO many kids so YOU get to tell me which one I need to give away or maybe abandon out on I-20...Go ahead pick a few out and I'd dump them on the highway to make you happy...
"I mean YOU are SO freaking smart to know how many kids are too many, so you get to fix your preconceived problem"...
I got some really strange looks, only had the cops called once..
More than once people would ask us the secret to have six children that were so well behaved...

When Tom is global dictator, you’ll be glad you refrained. The internet never goes away, you know!

Have you ever walked up to a stranger with one child and said, “How come you only have one child? Don’t you and your husband like each other? Are you sick? My doctor is really good at diagnosing fertility problems!”
Of course you haven’t.

I had five kids.
In my neighborhood they would say, “Oh,you only have five kids.”. Huge families in our area.

Nope, never because I'm not a rude ass clown...
One thing you probably have experienced like we did, we used to get looks of envy from moms with one child...which I guess wanted more but either could not or can't get hubby to agree...
