As if to confirm previous speculation about who's winning the progeny war, the state of Arkansas is handing out "Young Mother of the Year" awards to those who produce 15 or more offspring. A few conditions apply, though: all applicant fathers must have two first names and all children must share the same first letter in their names. Special consideration is given to those who force their kids to dress alike and be homeschooled in preparation for attending Hillsdale College.
"Michelle Duggar is all smiles after delivering her 15th child, but she may be ready for more, her family says.
"The baby’s father, former state legislator Jim Bob Duggar, sounded a bit tired but happy after returning home Monday. He said his wife and new son were doing fine. He said he leaves the decision up to Michelle on whether to have more children.
"Michelle, who home schools her children and is helping to build the family’s new home in Tontitown from the ground up, started having her babies when she was 21, four years after she and Jim Bob married. Her 38-year-old husband is a real estate businessman.
"Their children include two sets of twins, and the parents have stuck to the letter 'J' for their names. There is Joshua, 16; Jana and John-David, 14; Jill, 13; Jessa, 11; Jinger, 10; Joseph, 9; Josiah, 7; Joy-Anna, 6; Jeremiah and Jedidiah, 5; Jason, 4; James, 2; and Justin, 1."
