Top 10 comments regarding having 4 daughters

A couple weeks back, we found out that our fourth child will be a girl! We're very excited.

I've been keeping track of what folks have been telling me in terms of unsolicited advice or comments or dumb jokes. I know most folks are good-intentioned, but these comments do get old after a while, a hearty congratulations is plenty. :)

But here are the top 9 comments I've received (in no particular order):

Do you have enough bathrooms?
Better get a shotgun!
Better get a baseball bat
Just wait until they hit the teen years
Puberty will be an exciting time at your place!
How will you pay for all those weddings?!
Better get a male dog
Poor Dave
Good time to purchase that Mary Kay mini-van!


Brutal ...
