WHY WE NEED LOTS OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS...

ALL THIS IN 30 HOURS TIME...

If you saw yesterday's post you will get to hear the rest of the story...

Why big families are important: (I am blessed to be the 9Th child in my family)

*so, when your car is breaking down...you can call your sister who lives close by
*so, you can borrow the car of a family of 11...who else would have a van big enough
*so, you have a sister who helps keep the kids cool...while waiting on the road for AAA
*so, you can laugh about the family van breaking down...again
*so, your brother can remind you of the time...the tire blew up on the same highway
*so, you can get your binoculars out with your other two brothers...and watch 5 state troopers drive by without checking on you
*so, when your sister gets there with the van...you can leave her with the tow truck driver
*so, when you walk in your hot house that has been closed up...your kids can watch the babies while you get the clothes ready for the family portrait
*so, you can have 15 kids singing Happy Birthday to Boompa...who thinks he is too young to have all these grandkids
*so, you have someone to get your picture with...how to you do a picture with all girls or just boys if you are the only one
*so, you have someone to share Italian Ice with...and talk about it taking 43min to take all those pictures
*so, at night you have someone to talk about your weekend with...and how mom actually let you touch a G U N
*so, when you wake up you have someone to split the left over "sugar" cereal with...who thought you could spilt 1/3 of a box 6 ways
*so, when mom has to take your brother to the airport...you have a shoulder to cry on
*so, when mom has to drive hours away to pick up the van...you have big sisters to watch you
*so, when you need the cell# of your brother or sister...you can call your other sister to get it
*so, when you need a person to help you drop a car off...you can call your big brother and have him do it...
*so, when you can't find the van key...your big brother can pray to St. Anthony
*so, when you leave three car seats at the car shop...your big sister can call you and tell you to go back
*so, when you go back...you can call your sister and laugh/cry at the day you have had
*so, when you get home...you can hug your big family!!!

Thy Will Be Done!!!+JMJ+
