When "parent helping" means coordinating between 3 or 4 different schools....
This is a fun game! Okay, I'll stop now! :)
How about...
When the first family gets the flu and it takes two months to go through everyone.
When only 2 kids are making funny faces in your family portrait and you think it is a GREAT picture.
When you take up the entire large pews at church and a whole row in the movie theater (Dollar theater of course)
When it costs $20 to eat out at the McDonald's dollar menu and you feel like you did great.
When the librarian knows you and your kids by name because you check out 50 books every week.
When the teachers at school can't tell your kids apart.
When you call out 4 names every time you want one child.
When snack time takes an hour and unless your pantry is locked your kitchen is never cleaned for more than 10 minutes.
Or better yet... how old is the youngest?? Isn't about time you have another one?
When no matter who you meet, you have kids their kids ages. :)
I've gotten the
"So are you done having kids yet?"
and also the
"Do you want more kids?"
Or
"Mom, we should have triplet boys next"
standing.
... you run a full dishwasher three times a day.
... it takes seven out of the ten kids 20 minutes to unload the groceries, and another 30 to put them all away!
(I better stop now! *wink*)
