Answer:
It’s not. Two brothers, Charles and Pierre Pare, marry on the same day, two sisters, Marie and Marie Josephe Lessart. Between them the 22 children are divided: Charles and Marie have 14, Pierre and Marie Josephe have 8.
Moral: Due diligence and proper research in primary sources a happy genealogist makes.

Well, alrighty then. I should have peeked at the answer.
