Five Husbands - A Necklace

During the week, I wore a multi-strand necklace I made myself during the Australia Day weather event.  The girl who thinks I have five husbands saw me.

Girl: Ooh, that's such a pretty necklace.
Me: Thank you.
Girl [touching the necklace]: Did you make it yourself?
Me: Ye-
Girl: Or did one of your husbands make it?  Andrew?  Tim?
Me: What do you think?
Girl counts the strands (there are 9), then: Okay, you must have made it together.  Good work.
Me: Thanks...
