Cheaper By The Duggars
R. Alex Whitlock
Aldahlia sent me this picture in the comments section to my
TSN post on the Duggars. Note that this picture is three kids ago -- they're up to sixteen. Jim Bob Duggar's
site is quite interesting. Unsurprisingly, he's quite a religious fellow and there is a plethora or biblical verses mentioned.
He also seems to be an addict to every self-help book out there. The source of his income? Real estate. I guess some of those late night infomercials really do work, cause he's building a 7,000 square foot house debt-free.
So the question is, for me, which would be more strange: Coming from a family like this or marrying in to a family like this? I'd say the latter. If you come from an odd family, you don't know any better. But if you're marrying in to it, you already have a somewhat normal view of what a family should look like. Then again, maybe not so much if you live in Arkansas.
Observations
Substitute "Idaho" for "Arkansas" in your last paragraph, and over 98% of the U.S. population will think it equally amusing.
When I was explaining the story to Camille, one of her first thoughts was "Was this in Utah?"

We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
