You are about to learn about my life... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEATS, THIS WILL BE A BUMPY RIDE! ******************************************* 12 siblings. 12 is what i have. Its alot i know. But, its awesome having lots of siblings. For one: You never get bored! When i say, “Hi i'm Lourdes and i have 12 siblings.” I usually get that look like I'm joking or something. But...i'm not! So i normally stick to just the “Hi im Lourdes.” Part instead of adding the 12 sibling part because that look gets real annoying! (Sometimes) Anyway i usually get told that it must be a hard life having 12, but i say no. It must be because im used to having 12 or because i love having 12 siblings. It is like even before i came out of my mothers womb i knew i was destined to have a big family. Now thats just a fact. But, im joking. I dont mind having a big family. We have lots of great moments. Like going to mcdonalds. When we order alot of food and they think were joking. But, were actually quite serious. Your probably thinking it must bother us when that happens. But, it dont. We dont care at all. We are all mature enough not to let it bother us. A big family comes with alot of responsiblity and respect. Always respect our elders and leave a restraunt table as you first saw it are the two most important rules we were taught. We werent raised to leave a table messy or slam a door on a persons face. We were raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the ceo. The 18 years so far, i have learned to have patients, in stressful times. I can keep calm in a rowdy place, when im trying to do something else. Having 12 siblings is like being on the movie Cheaper by the Dozen. Its hectic but its a fun ride through life. *Not all 12 are pictured in this photo*
