She had what? Eight babies? Yesterday I was at work and a coworker informed me that a woman in California gave birth to eight babies. Now, we all know cats can do the same thing BUT is it normal for a human being to give birth to EIGHT babies (whoa!). Considering the many other mothers glorified in recent headlines, it is becoming more and more probable thus increasingly normalER. What are we becoming? Wait a minute... I'm not a woman-what are these women eating? Imagine planning to have a baby with your wife and she gives birth to seven more--all in one shot. How do you burp all of your babies? Who's a octopus? Not her. My friend asked if I would give some of the babies up for adoption if that were to happen to me and I thought it was a hard question to answer (only for a second though) before I concluded that I would rather be dead. One is enough--true talk. God bless that lady--and her husband of course--and all of her baby angels. The family is now large enough to play a full court basketball game.
