16 kids

Had to laugh reading about the Assen’s whose 16 kids are returning for their 40th wedding anniversary.

I shudder at the thought of 16 children, especially for the poor mother who had to undergo 15 pregnancies and 15 births.

But the worst thing is that the family had only one bathroom and toilet in the house. My God you would need rosters.

They now have 21 grandchildren also, and presuming they all have partners, the family gathering could be as high as 55 people.
