Aha.... "Why don't you write a book?"

Well, I just may. Yep, in fact, I think I will. I am going to write about parenting my "Tribe" and what is has been for me and the kids and all our amazing adventures together!
After all, there are questions to be answered, I know this because I get them every day. not only by curious - or just plain rude - adults, but by my innocent children (ha ha ha.. a-hem, excuse me.) as well. Things like, "Do worms yawn?" and "Momma what happens if...."
- Now, see, ANY question that begins with those 4 words "Momma, what happens if..." is never a good thing. It is probably a direct comment on something they are about to do. Something they have thought of, but not the consequences, or the action and reaction of. (That whole E=MC2 isn't something they've figured out yet... or have they?) It could involve many things, living or not so living... possibly, it involves a multitude of things, something living, something dangerous and something messy. I'd opt this is exactly what that question is about. I'd also say your chances are 50/50 that they have already tried it and are waiting to see your reaction before they fess up to it. Yes, get the cleaning products, some garbage bags and a shovel. this might be big.

Now, for the idiotic adults, my personal favorite in the questions is this: "Don't you know what causes that?" - Yes, I do and they say you should stick to what you're good at. OK?
I think those same select few adults, think they are funny. Yup, a real hoot! I bet they even think they are original. I shall send them each a copy of my book, no, just the chapter covering all the stupid questions I've been asked, so they can read what us Moms of Many have been dying to say but can't or wont because we've been biting our tongues now in the hopes that us having some manners and respect would rub off on all the idiots that choose to open their mouths and show how stupid they are. Fair, don't ya think?
So, Yes, I am writing a book on my big brood. Thanks to everyone who has suggested it and to those morons I just want to be able to shut up, for once and for all, and tell them how proud I am. How I love my family. How I don't give a poop if they don't like it or approve. How I don't need their permission. How I don't stick my hand out for their charity, welfare or food stamps and that I DO know who their Dad's are and I certainly did want them ALL.

*Whew* That felt good!

And to those with genuine good hearted curiosity, thank you, so much, we certainly appreciate folks like you! I hope you enjoy the book!
