An older man said as I got in the pool with the 4. "Those can't all be yours." I said, "Yep they sure are." Then he said, "God bless you." and gave me a nice smile. I think they look like brothers and sisters and if one is calling me mom then I think you should know they are all MINE :) Though I think he was saying it as a compliment as I don't look like I had that many or I'm young yeah I will take it as a compliment in that way and so should you ;)Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816260131470363977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-7252273168429790992009-06-18T13:32:37.992-07:002009-06-18T13:32:37.992-07:00BTW, I've been thinking about you.

I hope you are having a fun summer.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08897383074446402880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-42195018411714744032009-06-18T13:31:24.574-07:002009-06-18T13:31:24.574-07:00I agree with Sarah...I don't know why people t...I agree with Sarah...I don't know why people think 4 is a lot. I also don't know why people make such comments. But if it makes you feel better, it hasn't changed in 40 years. My mom used to take 5 or 6 of the 7 kids she raised to the store with her, and she said people said the same thing, "Are THOSE all yours?!!!!" And they weren't asking a question, as much as making a statement. Discretion people, discretion.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08897383074446402880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-62423979790217374532009-06-17T23:40:47.601-07:002009-06-17T23:40:47.601-07:00Well, that was handled well!

I don't understand why people think four kids is SOOO many. Guess all we can do is laugh, right? ;-)sarahgracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238734592533601926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-45466530695563272232009-06-17T17:42:18.487-07:002009-06-17T17:42:18.487-07:00If it makes you feel any better, I'm glad they...If it makes you feel any better, I'm glad they are all yours:)harrellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01048889232153714743noreply@blogger.com
