18 Kids

How many kids you have is a personal decision but if you leave it up to God this may happen to you.

We have a family in our neighborhood with (I think) 11 kids (most adopted) that named all their kids with a "J" name like this family.

What gives?

I think it's funny that they "surprised" their kids with news that she was pregnant again. She's been pregnant almost nonstop for the last 20 years--a vasectomy would have been a bigger surprise I am sure.

I only count 14 kids in that photo above. That means 3 (+ one on the way) are all missing from the photo. That really is something.

Is this supposed to mean the girls watch the calendar like a hawk to know when their mom might be missing a period? I'm sure every time it hits (which isn't that often), they all breathe a sigh of relief.

The wife of our branch president is one of 14 kids.

I think it's an old photo. Can't you tell from the mom's hairstyle? Oh, wait... her hair still looks like that.

All I can think of is the scene from Monty Python's Meaning of Life where the mother of 100 kids is washing the dishes when a baby just drops out of her and falls on the floor.

Mother: Oh, get it, would you Dierdre?

Child #23: Right, Mum.

What is up with J-name families? They are everywhere? Why is it always the letter J? Why not a different letter?
