Anyone think there may be some confusion between Janna, Joy-Anna and Johanna?

So they only need one set of name tags, and the clothes can be passed along without needing to change the name tags...

I guess they're fundamentalist Christians so I can't imagine any of their children being troublesome (or chavs). If they're happy about the situation then it's none of our business really.
a) they can afford to look after them all and
b) they don't go around vandalising/terrorising or generally annoying others
And even if they seem a bit odd (i.e. kept away from the real world), its still pretty good going to keep 16 kids under control. Bible bashing is better than granny bashing!!

I really can't believe that no-one has commented on the kid called Jinger... and the fact that they apparently can't spell Jebediah.
