    Huh, the thing about Chang and Eng is interesting.

    One thing (among many) I find annoying about these shows is how special they seem to think they are. Okay, sextuplets are unusual, but lots of people have had huge families. Jim Bob Duggar has made comments where he refers to his family as the largest in the country, which irritates me. There are bigger families, but they just don't feel the need to exploit their family.

    @Plate2.18: Yeah, the Chang and Eng aspect just tipped the whole reality show thing into some meta-meta-P.T. Barnum territory for me. Good Lord, life is weird.

    @Plate2.18: When I used to supervise foster placements, there was one family that had 3 biological kids and had adopted about 15. The age spread was pretty big, so their biological kids were married adults at the time I worked with them and they adopted 2 elementary-aged foster kids. They never made a big deal out of it - they knew that the foster kids that "aged-out" still needed a "home" to go back to, and they provided that without fanfare.

    @Plate2.18: My great-grandmother grew up in that same town. I don't know how it is today, but she talked about Chang and Eng as if she'd known them, even though they'd died before she was born.

    That's North Carolina, though: I have (long-dead) relatives who fought in the civil war that people talk about like they'll be home any minute.

    @wishingflower: I once worked with three families, all friends, who each adopted 10 kids. They went in together and bought a used school bus for crazy summer road trips. They worked for years to reunify the sibling sets they adopted with other siblings in the system. I really loved those families, because they were loud and crazy and just plain loving.

    @midwesternmom: I would totally watch a show about that kind of family, but that kind of family wouldn't exploit their children in that way. We need more happiness in this world!

    @wishingflower: I think people welcoming foster children are doing great work - especially those who have "aged out." My grandparents fostered 2 boys through adulthood after all of their birth children were grown. We were raised with them like cousins. Unfortunately, they were never released for legal adoption, but they remain part of our extended family to this day.

    Miley embrace your Destiny. Twas written in the Disney scrolls embedded in the cryogenic head of Walt Disney that there will come a girl who, "will lead us into the new age of mass marketed and hypersexualized pre-teens. Yay, it is just like the old age but with more cross platform promotion and less New Kidz on Blocks". And let us cling to our stripper poles of righteousness and tweet, Amen.

    Maybe I am still recovering from the after-effects of last night's The Office wedding sweetness and my overactive hormones, but that quote by Cherry Jones almost brought me to tears.

    @lorem oopsum: I was wondering if I was just hormonal, because everything has been making me choke up for days, and The Office last night was really the capper. I started tearing when I was reading about Betsy-Tacy in the other thread, and I have never read the books. Maybe it's in the water?
