Mr. and Mrs. Ghost had always wanted just one child. When Mrs. Ghost gave birth to twins, she asked her shocked and surprised husband to name the two children.
He happily replied, "This little boy is now named BOO!"
"What about the second child?" asked the nurse.
After giving it some serious thought Mr. Ghost replied, "Our second child will be named Boo Boo!"

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Cute joke, but in reality, of course, that's horrible! I know that my mom used to say (jokingly?) that my sister and I were mistakes, and she had her tubes tied afterward, which cinched the truth that maybe she didn't want any kids after the first 3. My sister and I were number 4 & 5.
I know this is a joke, but it's also a good reminder to make sure any child born into a family at least think s/he is wanted and not made to feel they shouldn't have been born, as it definitely affects the psyche for years.
Both my parents are gone now and I live my life as if I have every right in the world to enjoy what I have, but in my youth I didn't feel that way.

I was the only kid my parents had as mother had 9 miscarriages after me, but I was pretty much ignored all my life, unless I broke some damn rule or other.
@Lilac-JadeCanada It's a crazy world. All we can do is make the best of what we have once we're free of things that mess with our psyche. Being #4 out of 5, I was also forgotten most of the time, which means I can finally shine now as an adult without parental supervision.
