You have 5 kids? Big whoop! (8 Comments)

From time to time I will post ads on free classified websites to get my fiveallmine.com name out there.  Considering I haven’t spent a cent on advertising, it has done amazingly well with over 20,000 hits in 7 months.

Yesterday I decided to post an ad on Kijiji and did so, basically just outlining my website and that I had 5 kids in 6 years and write about funny, parenting related topics.  I was surprised this morning to see a reply!  I have never received one and couldn’t imagine why I had.

This is what it said:

whoop i have 5 kids as well

A simple looking line, but I had to read it over several times to figure out that it was meant as sarcastic, maybe that’s because I’m typically a positive person or maybe I’m just slow, but whatever, it took me some time to figure out the context of ‘whoop.’  Now I realize that it was meant as ‘big whoop’.  Remember when we used to say that when we were 15?

.

It made me laugh out loud!  I bet this woman did not plan on making me laugh, but she did.  She even gave a real email address, so while I did contemplate writing her back, I ended up taking the high road and just sat back and chuckled instead.

.

I hope this poor woman is not 15. If so, she would have had to have her kids even closer together than I did, maybe with a couple sets of twins.  Hmmm, maybe that is the case and maybe that’s why she is so bitter…

.

In that case, she deserves to be bitter, but maybe she should try using some birth control.

I’ve heard it works!  Whoooppp!
