The Duggar Family
I was looking up some stuff online this morning when I somehow came across a website for the Duggar family. You’ve probably heard of these guys, as they’ve been on plenty of talk shows over the years. What makes them famous? Well, the fact that there are 18 children in the family, for one thing!
That’s right, there are a total of 20 people in the immediate Duggar family — which to me is a staggering number. Their website has photos of their beautiful house, and I’m amazed at how nice it is. They have an industrial kitchen for preparing meals, a buffet-style counter for serving themselves, and even a fountain drink dispenser like the ones you see in restaurants.
The rest of the house looks even better, with an indoor climbing wall and two-story indoor slide for the kids, tunnels leading from the bedrooms to the playroom, a laundry room with four washers and four dryers, and a family closet where every single item of clothing is kept in one place. The kids apparently just go in there and choose whatever they want to wear!
It was fun to see how they live at home, but I’m more interested in learning about how they get around from place to place. I mean, if anyone needs to buy a bus, it’s the Duggar family.
Anyway, I’ve got to hand it to parents JimBob and Michelle. They’re just 43 or something, and manage to keep a huge household like that running smoothly. I can’t even begin to imagine how I’d try to cope in that situation!
