how they just do it

everyone, including me, wants to know how abby and eli manage 2 sets of multiples aged 3 and under. 

beats me.

i watch them do it and i still don't know the answer to the question how.

they make it sound like it's no big deal. if you ask them how they do it, they'll shrug and vaguely toss around words like "organization." usually what they say is, "we just do."

but the thing about "we just do" is that they say it like they don't have any other choice when, in reality, they do.  they could neglect these kids. or at least some of them. they could. but they choose not to. they choose to "just do it" as opposed to "just don't do it."

"just do it" is basically what Christ was trying to say. just do the other-centered thing, not the me-centered thing.

(when nike says it, they don't mean it quite the same way.)
