The thing is Eko, my aunts idolised my mother, simply because there was nothing she couldn't do. She as by far the smartest in her family.

I don't think about it much because in the whole scheme of things, it just doesn't matter.

I have a friend who every Christmas, lays out the enormous amounts of gifts for her grandchildren, prices them, then goes out to top up some if she hasn't spent enough on them. Now that is something I just don't understand.

I guess we're all different.Being part of a big family is good, despite the odd hiccup. :)
