OK, I've gotten a LOT of stupid questions about having "all those kids" over the years and mostly I just smile and go about my merry life.
But tonight, I think I had the dumbest one yet, so I'll share here. :)
I was registering Monkey4 for preschool at our Church tonight [where all 3 of the older monkeys have gone now - I LOVE our preschool!].
I was standing in line waiting and waiting to register [why we have to do it like that I don't know....] and chatting with the other moms around me, a couple of whom I've known for several years.
We were chatting about which kid we were enrolling now and I made the comment that this would be our seventh year at the preschool with no end in sight. [One of the other moms has been there for that long too!].
A mom I did not know who was standing there with us looks at me and says:
"HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU HAVE?!!!"
And I said "Five".
And she looks at me with her mouth hanging open in shock [standing in our CATHOLIC Church mind you!] for a few seconds and then says:
[wait for it....]
"Are they all yours?"
"Um...yeah?" [I mean, whaddaya say to that?]
Then I said "Well, we found a couple of them at Publix, but the others are mine" and the other moms crack up [they had 3 and 4 kids respectively].
So, when I came home I was laughing and telling my husband about it, and he came up with a much funnier response....
"No they aren't. Every time we go to Chuck E. Cheese more kids just get in our van!"
[Obviously my children were not WITH me when she asked, otherwise she would have taken one look at them and KNOWN they all came from the exact same DNA. The little clones. LOL!]

Yeah, leave it to a Catholic! LOL
Kelly, is your blog still private? I was wondering if I could put you on my favorites?
I like the hubs' answer! I think I'll use that one sometime!
What a perfect way to evangalize!
Laura, my blog is no longer private. I would be honored to be listed on your blog! :)
It is usually at the Church that my mind is blown. And with the people putting time in serving the church and who actually attend mass. It's a double blown.
For example: A lady, who is uber invovled with the parish, that knows that I have a mission with Respect Life issues, tells me about after having her last two children her doctor got her an IUD. "And it is so great!"
I could go on and on... Sometimes I think purgatory begins here. And, couple that with the fact that I'm not quick-witted enough to give someone a good comeback...
Thank goodness you are and do.
