But I love it just fine, thank you!

I got a comment from someone at the OB yesterday, who was awaiting her appointment. She had a little girl (about 7 years old or so) and a little boy (who I'd guess to be about 4). She was expecting again and told me that it was an *oops*... ( To which I inwardly cringed at the notion of a child ever being an "oops".) Anyway, I had only my 5 year old daughter with me and the other mother asked if I was "hoping for a boy to complete my family". I said, actually, we *know* we are having a boy... then my 5 year old happily chimes in...
"Yeah... so that makes 4 boys and only 2 girls. We are going to see if we can get two more girls next time!"
The ladies jaw dropped and she said "Are YOU CRAZY!?!?!?!" All I could do was smile a happy, crazy smile...
I think she was relieved to have her name called next. I couldn't help but laugh when my 5 year old looked at me astonished and said... "Mama... what was wrong with HER!?!?" (She of course doesn't understand the ideology of the world on children... but she knew SOMETHING was wrong with that woman who's mouth slacked like a cod-fish!)
If having and loving children is crazy (no matter if it's 2 or 12)... if enjoying those blessings as they come is crazy... if wanting another sweet treasure to hold is crazy... if seeking to turn blunt arrows into fine weapons for the Lord's use is crazy...
Then I guess I am crazy! For each and every one of them!
