To this day I marvel that three out of four of my kids were all born within an 11 day spam. I used to attribute this to Michigan winter (its cold, you can't go outside, there's not a lot to do, etc.) but I am still not totally convinced. All I know is that women of child-bearing age should avoid me like the plague between January 21 and February 1!
The theory seems sound, but then how can I explain Jake? Was he just a "wild hair"? Or, was that the "Mother of all Septembers to remember"?
jwg, do not even think about commenting.

ReplyDeleteLOL :) Easy enough for you to write, P.J. You're not the one who sleeps in the same house as he does. Go ahead and comment all you like, jwg. But, if you somehow “accidentally” end up homeless for being a pain in the arse older sibling, be sure to blame your father :)
Oh, gawd. He's already giggling evilly next to me as I type...
ReplyDeleteNo, no. So you had three offspring born in an 11 day span, all with brown-hazel eyes, dark brown curly hair, and thick Goerlich lips. Then you had a summer son with blue eyes, straight blond hair (until he was a teen), and normal European lips.
ReplyDeleteNope, there is nothing insightful or witty to comment on there. Uh-huh
Well his looks are easy to explain. He takes after the German "Goerlich" side (my Father had blue eyes) while you and the girls take after the English "Fuller" side.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the timing that has me puzzled...
