When I tell people that I have six kids they usually say:
"You've been a busy boy!" "Haven't you got a TV?" and "You look too young to have six kids." Does anyone have some clever comebacks. I usually respond to the "You've been a busy boy!" with a raised eyebrow and "You have no idea." or "And will continue to be busy." |

Reminds me of an old Groucho Marx remark on his You Bet Your Life TV show, some young woman was a contestant and she had like 6 kids. Groucho was blown away, she was so young and had so many children, he asked her " Six kids, and at your age, how do you account for that?" She kind of blushed and answered "Well, I guess my husband loves me a lot" to which Groucho, without missing a single beat replied "Well I love my cigar too, but I take it out once in a while."
Actually you might say something along the line of "You bet I'm busy, sorting through all the milk and mail delivered to my house when I'm out."
"Now here's the man with the 25 cent hands, that two bit magician..."

I have 4, and usually say "I figured out what was causing them at 3, but wanted to make sure."

Not to try to one up anyone. We just our #7.
I get a lot of types of questions along the lines like "you DO know what causes that don't you?" In my opinion it's a very stupid question that always made me feel awkward because of the obvious answer. However, I've recently started being confident with my answer "YES I do". If the person persists I ask if they forgot, has it been that long for you. I love the disappearing kid trick comment. On the humor side I use the line "Well, they only fit inside a change bag for so long" |

I have 5 myself. 34, 29, 23, 22 & 9 years old respectively. I tell them that the thing that surprises me is that the 9 year old doesn't have red hair from rust.
