This is hilarious. I don’t actually laugh out loud often from blog posts or videos but this one had me lol-ing for realz. Growing up in a family of seven kids I really related to it but I think most kids probably could.
And yes I absolutely stole this from Danielle Bean’s blog. Don’t tell her, OK?

I'm one of six kids, and so much of this reminds me of growing up. Especially "calling" things and having to tell mom when someone is hurt.
One of my brothers actually did the whole "Mom? Everything's fine… don't get upset…" thing when he managed to break two teeth while sledding. Needless to say, by then my mom was used to our methods and immediately flipped out… before she knew what the actual injury was!

"for realz", Matthew?
This is hysterical and I did laugh out loud. It really reminds me of our six kids now. He he he, we regularily send our kids "out into the yard".

LOL! I loved riding in the back of the station wagon!!!
I have to enjoy one of the boys telling me on my way to get milk to take another of their siblings to the hospital:) It's just a matter of time though! Hahahahah!
Thanks for sharing! That was hilarious!

This reminds me of when my brother-in-law tells stories about growing up with 4 siblings.

It's great to hear a standup comedian who is clean.

"My seat's saved. And so is the channel!"
Oh, and Brian should consider himself lucky to have gotten the hump. I was the youngest of more than 10 but less than 20. My mother got a chevy convertible when I was 3 years old. I had to sit on the "armrest" in the backseat — always thought I was going to blow out. Of course, I'm fearless now.

I'm one of three (the middle child) . . . I wish we'd had more siblings, but we sure had fun and the station wagon really had me rolling! Such memories!
