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.
