Comments and Questions

When you have 4 kids, people make comments. I'm used to them by now.

This afternoon I went to the grocery store with all 4 kids in tow. Billy was home, but needed some quiet for a very important phone call so we all went. The grocery store is a treat. The younger 2 (and I sometimes squeeze one more in) get to ride in the car cart and they all get a cookie. The cookie lasts long enough for me to get about 3 things in my cart and then its over. I got many comments today. "Wow, you have a lot of helpers." This translates to - what a nightmare, I would never have that many kids in grocery store with me. "You sure have you're hands full." Translation - don't you know what birth control is? And the last one I got - "Are all those kids yours?" This is always my favorite - although I haven't been asked this one often. I replied, "Yes, but they all have different daddies."
