That is exactly what I essentially tried to do.

The fact is, the Duggars have an outrageously high number of children which is no exaggeration. I took advantage of a trivial erroneous detail to put a spin on the outrageousness to make it appear as if it WAS an exaggeration.

This is one of those times that it would've been better if I my joke was spoken instead of written, because the tone conveyed would've made it clear that I was trying to be funny.

O well, it happens. *shrugs*
