"Caroline, what does it mean that they are your boyfriends? Do you hold hands?" She responded, "No".
"Sit by each other?"
"No."
"OK, so you have these boyfriends, but all it really means is that you all know you like each other which makes you too embarrassed to even talk to them, right?"
Jonathan decided to pipe in, "Pretty much."
Caroline defended herself. "We talk!"
"And what in the world do you have two boyfriends for?" I continued.
"Because mumsy, I need a boyfriend and a spare, in case one doesn't work out."
"Work out for what?" I asked, genuinely curious. "And when and how will you know one hasn't worked out?"
Jonathan piped in again from the very back of the Suburban. "Maybe she'll keep both of them, mom. You've always said girls are good at multi-tasking."
What could I say. "I didn't mean boys when I said that."

Jennifer,
This is Susanna (Challies) Rose, one of John and Barbara's daughters! I don't know if you remember me from when I used to attend the Ragland's church for a while with my parents!:)
Anyways, I just wanted to say that I am so interested in your life's work and think your kids sound hilarious from your posts! I am particularly curious to know how you handle being and mom and being involved in pro-life work? I would love to be actively involved in pro-life advocacy somehow as well but just don't know how one does it! I have two kids, 3 and 16 months with a third on the way and it just seems like I could be doing something more but...how?:)
I'd love to hear how you do it and how one like me with kids still not in school, etc could get involved in pro-life stuff! If you have the time, could you perhaps shoot me an email or write me on Facebook? My email is susanna@susannarose.net. Thanks!!
Sincerely,
Susanna
