In the beginning of the film when the Shelton's are driving around in Jupiterharlow, Mrs Shelton states that she is 40 month pregnant!

FourTEEN - not Forty.

Still a long time, though, I'll agree with you there. Can you imagine, over a year of pregnancy?! And with TWINS, no less! :-)

She says 40 months and OF COURSE it's a joke. HELLO! It's a comedy and especially that character is over the top.
