My mother's sister was killed in a trolley car accident, so I was raised as one of eight with my sister and six male cousins.

My older brothers and sisters have kids and families.

I grew up in a family of nine kids.

I have a bunch of brothers. I grew up with a big family.

I was the youngest and only girl in a family of two older brothers.

I've got three sisters, five aunties, and my mom. It must have had an influence on me growing up.

There were nine children in my father's family and eight in my mother's. My grandparents did the best with what they had. After the Depression, they were scratching out a living and working hard. They kept the family going.

I had an older brother who passed away recently, an older sister and a younger brother.

We were very lucky. My mother and stepmothers were on very, very good terms, and so we, the children, grew up as brothers and sisters.

I have my three brothers, and then I have my adopted sister from El Salvador, who is actually the oldest. My brother and I were already born, and then my parents adopted my sister from El Salvador during the war and had two more kids.
