Good morning, Sunday blessings to you all. Every so often (very often, actually) when I tell a story, I precede it with a disclaimer, so nobody gets their panties in a bunch. So disclaimer: I am an only child, if a person/couple decide to just have 1 child, I think that’s great. Only children are pretty amazing in their own right. π It’s apparently what is best for you I’m not judging you nor criticizing your choice, okay? Okay!
I have noticed, no scientific experiment here, that most often only children have more than 1 child of their own. Myself included. I can name 10 only’s, in just a few minutes…right off the top of my head, that have at least 2 kids, but no only’s that have just 1. Interesting, huh?! Well to me it is. I’m sure they are out there and when brought to my attention, I’d feel dumb that I couldn’t recall. So when those said children are fighting obnoxiously with their siblings, we have no clue what the heck is going on. Because we would love to have a precious sibling-best friend for life. Right? When my girls were younger and fighting amongst themselves I remember hollering at them, “if God struck me down right now and asked what my biggest wish was, I’d say ‘for my girls to get along.'” They both just looked at me and Courtney (the oldest), replied, “no it wouldn’t…your biggest wish would be to win the lottery.” Well dang. She had me there, but girls getting along would be my second wish! So good luck only children parents of multiples, they really are God’s best blessings. And if you’re an only with an only, let me know. Because we all need to feel dumb every once in a while. π
I hope y’all have the very best week, I’ll be talking to you….
