So we are a fairly large family for this day in age, right? Those of you who are also in this club will know that any time you go anywhere with all you kids you get the "you've got your hands full!" and "what a lot of helpers you've got" about every two minutes when out in public. These comments are usually from sweet grandma's, grocery checkers, or even the well meaning passers by. We hear them so often!
The other night we were forced out to dinner once again while our home was toured. The kids chose Panda Express. As we were finishing up dinner and Gordon was opening his fortune cookie, an older gentleman and his wife walked by our table, counted our kids, made the "WOW! That's a lot of kids!" face, and just as Gordon pulled the paper out of the cookie, he said, "What did it say? Try again???"
Gordon and I both laughed so hard! That was definitely the best "lots of kids" one liner we've ever heard. Thanks for the laugh Grandpa!

i totally am with you! you can imagine the looks i get when i am "forced" (b/c i never willingly take all 4 kids with me on any errands by myself) to quickly run into target to grab something that we must have with all 4 and then they see my growing belly! at least at this point they don't know just by looking that there are actually TWO in there!! haha! i was dropping mahea off at the childcare at the gym yesterday and one of the ladies said, "congratulations, mahina!" then after a pause she said, "why not??" i thought that was the funniest "you've got a lot of kids" comments i've had!
With 3 girls I get "that's a lot of weddings" comment.
