When is a good time to stop having kids?
A couple in Arkansas just had their 17th kid....and they all have names that begin with the letter J. Only Mom, Michelle, is different. Dad is Jim Bob.
Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2...and Jennifer Danielle born at 10:01 am.
The wife has been pregnant for 10.5 years of her life and the couple has gone through about 90,000 diapers.
Yup...they want more...two complete baseball teams worth
at least...or maybe two football teams. The couple is young enough to churn out another dozen.
The dad used to be a former Arkansas state representative. (I seriously wonder what he represented.)
I don't know what the man does for a living now, but I do know what he and she do in their spare time. And when they are not doing that, well, there are 16 kids that still need attending to. Only Joshua at 19 can go off on his own.
"Look, there Joshua goes a-runnin."
