I grew up in a big family and it was really good: four brothers and one sister and my
parents and a dog, so there were lots of people around and I think a big family is
good. You're never lonely and there's always someone to hang around with or play
with or do something with and lots of things to share and you learn some good
values about sharing and being patient and, yeah, I think big families are better
than small families.

really we only see the entire family at weddings and at funerals.
