This reminds me of a minivan I saw in Utah with those family stickers on the back window and it was husband, wife, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, baby, dog. Someone had written in the dust on their back window, "Oh My Gosh! Get OFF of Her!!!" 😂

Player #2395057, They say 1 in 200 people are related to Ghengis Khan, but they also say that 1 in 100 are related to John Tyler. In 200 years, maybe 1 in 50 people will be related to Steven Tyler.....

Player #118103951, My maternal grandmother came from a family of 13 and she was the youngest born in open waters on the boat to America from England. My great grandparents had to get a green card for her as she didn’t have citizenship in either England or American. We used to say she was from Atlanta because she was born over the Atlantic Ocean. LOL Unfortunately none of her or her siblings are surviving any longer. She was born in 1909.

It was common up until recently to have large families. My father, born in 1915, came from a family of 12 kids.
