81. Too many kids running around?

Sat Dec 1, 2012, 08:18 PM

Dec 2012

According to the article, it was just 5 children. In an enormous house. Probably with at least part time household help. I thought the Romneys were supposed to epitomize the ideal American family.

I'm also an idiot: I make my Thanksgiving dinners from scratch, and it something comes up, like a trip to the emergency room (minor kitchen accident, everything's fine now) my guests will just have to cope with things being a bit disorganized. Buying dinner from a chain restaurant? I can only imagine what the Romneys' state dinners would have been like.
