Here are my top 10 zippy answers to snippy questions about having a large family (these are on the back of my business cards):
- No, we're not ... (fill in the religion of your choice)
- Yes, we do know what causes that and we like it very much, thank you.
- Yes, we do know what birth control is; it's for people who don't want children.
- Of course they're all mine. Do you think I take 6 kids shopping for fun?
- No, we're not on welfare, in huge amounts of debt, and no, my husband is not a doctor or lawyer. We just budget well.
- 12 passenger van.
- Check back in 9 months and you'll see for yourself.
- My kids are glad it's me and not you too! ;-)
- Obviously we get a little time to ourselves, or we wouldn't have 6 kids.
- Yes, I gave birth to them all. Do you really believe the stork dropped them off?
