I love watching the TLC shows about families - you know, the Jon & Kate disaster, that little short couple - Jen & the kind of mean husband that harps about how much Jen spends and she is a freaking DOCTOR - hellooooo WHO is the breadwinner of that couple? But I'm getting sidetracked.
I think my favorite is the stranger than fiction, Duggar family. The girls (including teenagers) all wear skirts all the time and never cut their hair. I'm kind of shocked that the girls wear make-up. The kids all get along and love and help one another. Oh, yeah, and there are 18 or 19 or 20 of them. I think, at present, there are 18 but by the time you read this there may very well be 20 or 21.
So, the other odd thing is that all the kids in the family have a name beginning with J. How clever and how smart of the mom and dad to come up with so many J names. You think? Not.
Because if there's a name that they really want and it doesn't actually begin with a J, they just respell it to suit their J fetish.
For instance, there's a girl named Jinger. Would you think this is pronounced like jingle? I would. But, no, the name is actually GINGER, but they needed to satisfy their J craving, so they spelled it JINGER and pronounce it GINGER. Lame.
The news is that their upcoming addition is actually going to be named Michael. But, spelled with a J, as in JICHAEL. But of course, it will be pronounced MICHAEL.
Lame-O's.

Guess we both like the same shows.
Had to laugh like you do, what in the world?? Jen is a dr and has a very lucative practise here in Houston. It's no wonder she wants to live in the loop area as she spends lots of time at Children's Hosp. Still haven't figured out what he actually does. To be honest you can't pay me enough to drive thru the Houston traffic :)
The Duggars set a great example with parenting but Jon and Kate, hummm? She's always putting him down even in front of the children and wondered why he even stayed with her. I sure do feel sorry for their little ones.
