You Know You Are A Large Family When.......

You Know You Are A Large Family When.......
by Rebecca Prewett

...people count the number of your children out loud when your in public.

...you count your children when you are in public.

...people ask, "Are they all yours?"

...you have at least 3 sets of bunk beds.

...almost everyone you know has less children than you.

...people say,"Wow! How do you manage?"

...people ask if you are Mormon or Catholic.

...you buy pots and pans at a restaurant supply store.

..."Family Size" portions seem awfully small.

...you complain,"Doesn't anyone make large tables anymore?"

...you outgrow your mini-van.

...people ask if you've ever accidentally left any of your children behind.

...when you set the dinner table, it looks like your having company.

...your tent is the largest on at the campground.

...you pack more for a short trip than most people pack when they move.

...your husband sighs happily,"I finally got my dream car!"- its a 15 passenger van.

...life is never boring.

...you think of your self as Rich in kids.

...it takes a wonderfully long time to kiss everyone "good night".

...your children never run out of playmates.

...you take up an entire pew at church.

...your gratitude at the abundance of God's blessing moves you to tears.

****And on a personal note- I have had people ask me if I "Own a Daycare?"

Big, Big Life!

Peace.
