My first thought was OMG... is that a Duggar girl wearing *gasp* PANTS?

I've watched a couple of the shows about them. They all seems so happy and even keeled all the time, like they're robots or something. It's very creepy.

My favorite Discovery Channel multiple kid family are Jon & Kate plus 8. They fight, make snarky comments and just try and get through the day without going bonkers. A little less freaky than the Duggars.

I'm just glad Mom & Dad's lifetime career of choice isn't state welfare.

I read about the Duggar family in People magazine a few weeks ago. They seem like a very loving and close knit clan. God bless them.

I'm trying to recall all of their names. I love the name Jill. And Justin. And Joseph. But...Jinger? Like "finger"? Or is the "g" silent like "singer"? I've never heard of the name "Jinger"! Isn't that the name of the lead horse on the King Arthur Carousel at Disneyland?? You know, the pony painted gold for the 50th Anniversary?

Wait, I remember. The Merry-Go-'Round horse is named Jingles. Should they choose to have another child, they should name he or she Jingles.

It sounds almost naughty. "My Jinger got caught in the door!" Or, "my Jinger got stuck in my zipper again".

Actually, it's like Ginger... apparently they hadn't thought of Jennifer yet

so they got creative.

Frightens me. All of it.

It reminds me of that line from the play The Women (it was cut out of the movie version):

(Woman announces to another woman that Ms. Potter is going to have her 9th child)

Womans reaction: "Nine children! Nine children? What is she darling, careless or Catholic?"

I suppose that as long as they had enough money to care for all those kids it would be okay, but there is a point at which it isn't fair for the kids to have to literally mother and father their younger siblings every single day because the parents simply cannot do it.

Someone should teach that lady how to cross her legs.

Someone should teach that man to keep his pants zipped.

Or his fly buttoned as the case may be.
