"Kim? Yo dude! Long time no see!"
"Long time, plenty of see, no yak!"
They laughed and Isaac watched in amusement as they hugged. He and Babsie were in Australia for her ten year high school reunion.
"Oh, um, Ike, this is my old friend Kim, Kim this is my husband Ike."
"Hi." Isaac said.
"Ooh Babsie, you got yourself quite a spunk." Kim said, giving him a friendly wink.
"Yeah, I like to think so." Babsie grinned.
Then she spotted someone and waved her arm above her head.
"Wendy! Yo! Wendy! Over here!"
Wendy look a little embarrassed, but she came over anyway, and a fine young gentleman with her.
"Do you always have to do that Babsie?" Wendy asked.
"Yep."
"Of course she does Wendy. If she didn't do that, there must be something wrong." The guy said.
"Ooh, I've trained you well Fred." Babsie smiled. "So, you two finally get hitched did ya?"
"Yes." Fred looked at Isaac. "You Hansons must be as insane as she is, if you've managed to stand her this long."
"Aww, thank you." Isaac joked. "So, what do you do?"
"I'm a lawyer."
"Uhh oh." Babsie and Kim said together.
Then they looked at each other and laughed.
"Hey Babsie, I've been wondering... do you really have thirty million kids, or is that just a rumour?" Wendy asked.
"Wow, thirty-million kids -"
"You know what I mean."
"I have eleven."
Wendy gaped at her.
"Girl, you're insane. I was thinking of maybe three, at the most. But eleven? I didn't even think you'd been married that long."
"True. Married six years. I have three sets of twins and a set of triplets."
"Oh." Wendy was now looking at her weird. "Golly, didn't that hurt?"
"Nah. There's this new technology that was developed in Japan that numbs all pain during labour."
Wendy looked interested.
"Really?"
Babsie laughed.
