Arlington Family of 12 has a lot to celebrate on Father's Day

What a great article! What a great family!
I love the father's attitude and that ending remark is a keeper.

Thanks for sharing, Suzanne.

Yeah, that was our favorite too.

Although the "Are these all yours?" question was a close second.

Response: "That's what my wife tells me!!!"

Pete was quite proud of himself this weekend .....not even a WEEK after reading that article and he got to use the "That's what my wife tells me!" this weekend at Sam's Club when a man asked him "Are they all yours?"

Oh my, Suzanne! Were you there? I can imagine the shared look between the two of you when he said it.      I need to have my DH read it so he can be prepared with a great response.
Great for Pete!!

No, he was there with the four oldest girls, and I was at home with a napping baby!    He said the guy was just speechless, and didn't know what to say, so he gave the gratuitous grunt and turned around.
