So we're sitting at the dinner table and 4-year-old Sam asks me how many kids live in my home. I tell him 6 kids and he promptly asks, "Are you the mother??"

I then ask Sam's sister Sally, 6, if I look old enough to be a mother and she looks at her mom across the kitchen, looks back at me, looks at her mom and said to me "Well you're not as smart."

Sally tells me I will be old enough to be a mother in one more year.
