You Know You're in a Big Family When...
This is for all those out there who grew up in (or are growing up in!) a big family.
- A family trip to the store leaves a trail of people behind you counting the number of kids on their fingers.
- Mom gets asked any of the following questions by complete strangers:
- "Y'know what causes that, right?" (Usually accompanied by a leer. The correct answer, of course, is "Hey, everyone's gotta have a hobby."
- "Are you trying for a girl/boy?"
- "Are you done yet?"
- "You're Catholic, aren't you?"
- "Hey, that's almost a baseball/soccer/marching band! Is that what you're going for?"
- (Why mom? Because strangers seem to be marginally less rude to Dad.)
- Your family vehicle seats at least 12. Consistently.
- You qualify for group discounts at most amusement parks and entertainment venues.
- It would be cheaper to charter a flight than buy commercial airline tickets for everyone.
