Funny text that did the rounds on Facebook the other day.

Birth order of Children:

_____________________________________________________
 
Clothes:

  1. Karin - Visst var det lite kul! En som jag känner som har fem barn kommenterade när jag la upp den på Facebook: "and what about no 4 and 5; I forgot that I had them" eller nåt sånt ;)
