Interrogation
As a mom with five small children, I get asked a LOT of questions. And I don’t just mean, “Mommy, why do people have to wear underwear?”
I mean questions from adults.
When I go grocery shopping, my husband is usually working, so it’s me and five kids – five and under – and one heaping cart. Fun times.
I know we’re quite a spectacle. Honestly, I get that.

Generally, I get stopped by no less than three people at each of our shopping excursions.
Most of the time, my examiners are moms who smile and say, “Boy, you’ve got your hands full, huh?” I smile and agree, but add, “So’s my heart!” It may be cheesy, but it’s true.
Sometimes I get stopped by people who do not have kids and need a recommendation. Honestly, I must really look like I know what the perfect baby gift is, huh? I don’t mind that at all! I can always offer a few unique suggestions and the people are always kind enough to thank me profusely for my creativity and experience.
Every once in awhile we get stopped by someone who thinks they’re a comedian and they ask, “You do know what causes that, don’t you?” Like we’ve never heard that before. Besides, we only have five kids.
Here’s my point: I don’t mind questions!
I know we’re different. Your family probably doesn’t look exactly like mine. What fun would that be?
So, here’s an open invitation to fire your questions at me and I’ll do my best to answer them in upcoming posts. This could be fun, right? What have you always wanted to know about the family behind No End in Site?
*Disclaimer: If I deem the question inappropriate, I’ll likely just ignore it. If I have no idea how to answer it, I’ll do my best to make something up. (i.e. “
