15 Children

As reported in zaobao (also reported in peopledaily.com in China), this family in USA has 15 children.

Wow ! for today's standard world wide, not just locally, whereby the normal is 1 to 3 kids per family. The youngest just born in March 09 and the parent has also setup a family website to respond to queries.



Such news definitely wun have much value or even appear at all 50 - 60 ears ago unless you have a family of 20 children or more. Family planning has changed so much so that a lot of countries are cracking their heads how to encourage the people to get married and to give more birth.

The story also highlighted that news worthiness must also catch on the "right wind" to appear. In 100 years time, family with 5 children maybe given a national award for making significant contribution towards national building. Not possible ? Who knows, right ?

I wun be around by then. Ha...ha...ha...
