All the other kids will have to go to therapy.
Yeah, somehow I don't think that'll be the reason....

You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Or, I don't know, STOP HAVING SEX. Even the rhythm method would have done SOMETHING to reduce this number, wouldn't it?
They start trying for the next kid as soon as the previous one is six months old. They wean the kids at six months for specifically that reason.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lemme guess - it's "WTF is wrong with you people?"?

What's the current statistic? 10% of the population is gay? So if they keep breeding at this rate, they stand a good chance of having 2 gay kids.

Well, if statistics are any guide, and they end up with 20 kids, that would put them on track for two gay kids, right?
So at least, the second time through, they'll have some practice at it.
edit: I love how x-posty we are this morning.

In political news, did you know that the Congressional Republicans were for Mother's Day before they were against it?

I have read possibly way too much about this family. They use blanket training for the babies: Put the baby on a blanket on the floor. With a wooden spoon, tap around the borders of the blanket. If the baby crawls off the blanket, slap the kid's hand with the spoon, put the kid back on the blanket, and repeat the tapping around the borders of the blanket. A few repetitions, and the kid learns to stay on the blanket. I'm not sure what makes this preferable to playpens or baby gates, other than that the kid gets his or her first lesson in obeying authority.
