Collecting Children HUH????

Living on long island I dont know too many families that have more than 2 children. Long Island is super expensive and Im not even sure how my friends without kids even survive here. Anyway people are usually shocked when I say I have 5 children,seriously shocked. Most people ask tons of questions especialy now with Peyton. Heres how a recent conversation went and im still taken back by it

**Are they all yours? Ummm yeah all 5 are mine.

No you know what i mean- Umm they are all mine,I didnt give birth to all my children but they are all mine.

Oh so how many are adopted- Just 1

So your done right- nope not done

Wow what are you collecting kids?-----------------------

What does someone say to that-collecting kids-i just kinda looked at her paused and walked away. Is that how some people look at it? so strange the world we live in
