14 sets of twins? This is the Grand Matriarch from the Heinlein novels.

Hat tip to The Mom!

Fen said...: I just make obvious corrections when quoting people. (Sic) just seems pretentious. Pretty sure a mother of 24 knows the difference between stage and staged.; 9/6/19, 6:41 PM

Shouting Thomas said...: I just helped put my three under 6 years old grandkids to bed.

What a show! They don’t get quite so dramatic when I’m alone. When mommy is there, they really let is all hang out.

We survived.; 9/6/19, 6:47 PM

Thank you. Next!; 9/6/19, 7:28 PM
buwaya said...: No drama with dad.
That’s the usual case.
Maybe not with grandpa either.; 9/6/19, 7:40 PM
buwaya said...: She has already won the game of life.
All she has to do from now on is just to survive.
Indeed, even personal survival is now unnecessary.
What I would worry about is a fatal serenity.; 9/6/19, 7:53 PM

Well, God bless, but I doubt it. I don't think she could identify the business end of a penis.; 9/6/19, 8:11 PM
TickTock said...: 14 sets of twins? Either she has two sets that seem like 14 or this woman and her husband have adopted a great many. In either case, my hat is off to both her and her husband. She can act however she wants in my book.; 9/6/19, 8:16 PM
buwaya said...: The identifying of the business end, etc., and the associated mechanics, is mainly a problem for the man, not the woman.; 9/6/19, 8:18 PM

You know what's FUN? staying home with your girlfriends Crazy Hyper dog, while has to go to school and teach. You're All Terrified about what the dog is going to do; after all, it's Barely controllable when its mistress is present; and now, you're going to have to spend the day being barked at, and nipped, at Lord knows what.

You know what Crazy Hyper dogs DO, when their mistress is at the University Teaching?
They lay on the couch and sleep. MAYBE, if you go out to the back yard, they Might come with; probably not. But, Don't Worry; as soon as 4pm comes around, and the mistresses car comes down the lane; Crazy Hyper dog is back to it.; 9/6/19, 9:15 PM
buwaya said...: Re crazy hyper dog - have tennis ball.

Re crazy hyper child - have Lego.

Though the intelligent child can use this to her advantage.
"make a house daddy!"
Which draws the Frank Lloyd Wright out of one, guaranteed.
Its no wonder she graduated summa cum laude.; 9/6/19, 9:46 PM

Ann Althouse said...: Was the comedy tag helpful at all?

The sic wasn’t mean. It was an appreciation of the humor.; 9/6/19, 10:54 PM
stlcdr said...: Is there a “this is actually funny” tag? Because “comedy” is so...you know, umm, yeah. You know?; 9/7/19, 7:03 AM
