Jon & Kate Plus 8

Whenever I mention the television show Jon & Kate Plus 8, someone inevitably replies "I know!" and their eyes pop out of their head. It's mostly women who do this, who reply like that, but I think a guy would to, if I found one who watches it as well.

If you haven't seen this show, you should check it out. It's on TLC and you can probably find clips on youtube as well. It's simply amazing to watch 2 young parents handle a set of twins and a younger set of sextuplets.


The mom is crazy organized and regimented and the dad is more laid back. The combination obviously works and I imagine it's the only way the mom can get things done. The children all seem well-adjusted and intelligent and unique. But that's not why I watch it. No matter how well organized you are, if you have 8 little kids, it's just a train wreck. And that's what it is, I can't NOT watch this show. Unlike a lot of shows, you get to see the worst in them as well, so it's just so real. It's crazy!
