But I find this to be even more curious:

She was a permanent fixture at the Wyoming Valley Airport where she would always have a hug and kiss for everyone traveling through.

It really does say "A shitload of grandchildren"!!!


That would be the type of obit we'd have to write for my BIL. He has six children...all of them girls.

They have a bunch of kids, most of them girls

Those girls have even more children, most of them girls

I think he might even have one great great grandchild, a girl.

So many he can't remember all their names.


But he doesn't greet passengers at the local airport.

probably could not remember or track down all the grandchildren's names. That is funny!

We have people in my family who could name everyone, even though there are a lot of us. My brother could do it.

I have about thirty-eight cousins on one side, and around a dozen on the other. My dad had eight siblings. Only one of them seemed to understand anything about birth control.
