To The Busy-Bodies at Wal-Mart

**What I actually said.**

**What I was really thinking.**

Yes, all four of these children are mine.

What woman in their right mind would ever take children who weren't hers to the grocery store?!

Yes, they're all behaving pretty well.  They're pretty good kids.
You should have heard the combination of threats and bribery negotiations in the mini van on the way here.  I should work for the U.N.

Yes, I have my hands full.

What a stupid phrase "having your hands full".  My hands aren't full - my LIFE is full.  Full of diaper changes, feeding a flock of children, cleaning, refereeing, chauffeuring, laundry, hugs, kisses, laughing, and playing.

Yes, three boys.
Dur.

Yes, I guess we did "finally got our girl".

We were trying for a puppy.  Imagine our surprise!

Yes, we drink a lot of milk in our family!

Have you already forgotten how many children I have even though they're right in front of you?  Also, quit looking in my cart.  It's creepy.

Yes, she does sound hungry.

Quit bothering me with your inane chatter and let me finish so I can feed her!

Yes, that is my son who just ran around the corner.  I'd better go get him!  Good bye!
Bless you, Josh!
