You're pregnant AGAIN?? I love your hair! How do you get it to do that? No, I just ate a big lunch. Yes, we're thrilled.
How many are you going to have? Do you remember who shot JR? We're going for a world record. Four we think. We'd like a big family.
Was this an accident? Gesundheit! Yes, I tripped and fell on top of my husband. No, we've been looking forward to adding to our family.
Aren't you exhausted? How do you handle it all? Nice weather we're having, isn't it? Vodka works nicely. It can be tiring, but I love my kids; it's worth it.
