I’m one of five as well, but we were considered a small family! Both of my aunts had seven. One summer my gramma was sick and my aunt went to nurse her, leaving her kids with us. And then my other aunt got sick and her kids came to us as well! 19 kids under ten years old! Three babies in diapers! All summer! Lol! Best summer ever. I couldn’t understand why my mom was stressed. Lol!

My grandma had 13 children and when people would comment on her family size she would say "... well if your husband was as much fun as mine" lol I miss her, she was an amazing strong woman and believed in being open to life. When she passed she had over 40 grandchildren and many great grandchildren who all respected and loved her, she and my grandfather built a legacy through family. I wish society would respect the choice to have a big family more, it's a wonderful thing when done with love.

[@tomfrazier1103]

Jim, you don't owe anyone an explanation for your family. You sound like an OK dad, and have a fun family. My Mom's a pisces, I'm a Sagittarious, a cool horse dude. Last time Mt. Rushmore got this much attention was in North by Northwest.

Jim, you are by FAR, THE BEST Comedian today. Period. Why?? You( and your brilliant secret writing Partner that you just happen to be martied to!) are just Blazing through Simple yet profound LIFE Observations. No need to resort to the crutch of sexual filth and curse words, when you have a tandem of True CREATIVE GENIUS at work. I can honestly say this: I Love you Jim Gaffigan. Everything that YOU, your Wife, and Kids stand for. I am sure you and your family have challenges and moments of things not being right. You are doing great work with all your being so open with your private life. You are GIVING so much. I feel you are a living testament to more happiness being found in Giving, than in receiving. Those moments of things not being right become less and less( almost non existent even), when you give to the degree that you do!!! Keep Perfecting that Formula of Happiness. You HELP people in ways that you don't even know. Trust me. You have Helped Me!!! Thank you beyond Words.

[@nattamused9074]

Jim Gaffigan is an absolute American treasure. We love him. The jokes in this one about the plethora of children are especially endearing to me. It’s true that nowadays five kids smells like Duggar to a lot of people because our post modern society is so 1984. But in REALITY, children are a heritage of the LORD. They are an absolute blessing, and frankly, one of the best things about the entire human experience. They are the natural product of a normal, monogamous, man and wife. It’s that simple. It’s weird that the common groupthink today is that children should be avoided. It’s really sad. So many sex worshippers literally have only that to look forward to. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD, and enjoy a lifetime with our children and grandchildren.
