Now, here is a page that must be sorted out, lest old friends and strangers alike be seriously confused.
Family is listed here, in order of age; pseudonyms are, of course, used.
Mom
My admirable mother. Yes, admire her, for she keeps her sanity while a homemaker and homeschooler of nine children. Mom keeps the house running while always (well, most of the time) ready for a laugh and a plan. Do not underestimate her.
Dad
The paterfamilias. A latin teacher by profession, he has a low nonsense threshold and high standards. Watch out for the Red Goatee of Doom. A rule of thumb: Dad is always right. No matter how certain you are of your own view, he can prove you to be mistaken in five minutes. Argue with him, and you will look like a fool; learn from him and be rewarded.
Clam/
My athletic oldest brother. By this time he is much taller than me or Mom; he is interested in combative sports and never shrinks from a fight. Generally an excellent person to have around, but beware if making him angry!
Digger/
the next brother after Clam is has unusual talents. Something of a clown, he is able to be funny simple by moving. He is always out for a laugh, which may be annoying sometimes, but most of the time he is hilarious.
(Be patient; the rest is forthcoming!)
