It's the kind of house I live in.

They're happy that Louis is coming and all, but they've already put in their requests for the next one. Madeleine wants Elizabeth Christina (she'll have two sisters and two brothers) and Dale wants Michael Joseph, so the boys will finally be a majority.
Daddy just blinks. And changes the subject.

"Whales are mammals, right, Mama?"
"Yes, they are. So are dolphins."
"Well, where do they have hair?"

"Okay, we already have apples. So at the cider mill, we'll get cider, doughnuts, and fudge."
"What's fudge?" says Dale.
I think maybe I've been a little greedy in the past. We'll have to fix that. *sigh*
