guerilla Posted September 3, 2012 One of 32 children Who the heck has 32 bloody children? Why? *Off to start a thread on family planning* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted September 3, 2012 Mashallah, I am really happy for him. Guerilla people back home do have many children. 32 is not common but it is definitely not unheard of. I think one of my uncles back home has about that ...(maybe 20 something kids lol )..it is a rarity though. But, definitely they could use family planning. Just don't be too westernized and say 2 kids dhala LOL... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
