Children are a Blessing, Right? Huh? Hello?


I just read about a 40 year old woman who gave birth to two sets of twins...no, that's not right..quadruplets. That would be FOUR children....at one time!!

After spending just 1 hour babysitting a 5 year old and a 14 month old who is faster than a speeding bullet, I cannot comprehend having FOUR children of the same age to care for. Especially when they don't get returned in a couple of hours to a set of parents.

But here's the real kicker ~ this mother gave birth to triplets 3 years ago!
(No, I'm not kidding..I did NOT read this in one of the smut-reputable magazines in line at Kroger, nor did this happen in the country of Baliwanna.)

So, now do you want to know what the "kicker-kicker" is?

Drum roll please....

This Mom said after the triplets were born, she was done having children. Could it be because she already had THREE kids before the trio?
She now she has TEN!!

Remember the nursery rhyme about the old lady in the shoe.."she had so many children, she didn't know what to do..."? She was no old lady, she was just 34 but LOOKED 93 because she had 8 children!

Back to the news story facts..the final line read, "The Mother is happy because she and the children are healthy, although she is a little nervous about being overwhelmed."

'Ya think?

p.s. No mention of the Father...he might have been in the same hospital having "a delicate elective surgical procedure"....or heart failure.
