Ok, I finally got it! It's not that difficult actually. Just needs a little (deep) thinking and some knowledge of calculus and anthropology:
They have 3 daughters, each daughter has 2 brothers; that makes the brothers 6. Now we have to add 6 to 3 or maybe we should add 3 to 6? I personally believe we should add 6 to 3 not only because girls were thought of ( or talked about )first, but also because of the principle of "ladies first". Apart from that, you would be safe from the attack of feminists who might ask you why you put the girls at the end of your addition. So I hope you agree with me that we do it like this: 3+6=9!
Of course the question remains whether or not the aforementioned* brothers really belong to both Mr. and Mrs. Whatever Their Names Were*, or not. Some or all of them could belong to Mr. Blabla** with another lady (legitimate or not) and some or all could be the fruit(s) of a liaison* between Mrs. Blabla and another gentleman (again legitimate or otherwise, before or after her present marriage). Then again, those are philosophical questions. The answer remains 9. :P
* -Words with asterisks are used to show off. You should know that I know those words!
**- Whatever the name of a person is-it goes without saying!- it needs to be capitalized in English.
