Thank you. Yes it's good to have siblings. One or two of them I don't ‘’like’’ necessarily but I do ‘’love’’ them if that doesn't sound too crazy. I'm 66. I remember kids I went to grammar school with who came from Italian , Irish, and Polish familes where it was common to have five, six or seven kids. My best friend, who sadly passed away recently came from a family of nine. Six boys and three girls.

Nice life! I figured with all those siblings there would be some friction...obviously perfectly normal.

“MOM!! He’s looking at me!’’.

“If you kids DON”T Stop I’ll turn this car around so HELP ME!’’ You just WAIT till your father gets home!’’
