Oh, and Shake Maguire,
Tom's best man.

we had our first- Nora.
I lovedtaking her
to work with me.
After Charlie and Lorraine were born, we
realized our dreamofliving in the city..
- and havingeight kids and
two careers wasn't gonna work.
As much as we wanted our big careers,
we wanted our big family more.
So Tom settled for a Division llI
coaching job at Lincoln..
I quit writing for the Tribune,
and we moved to the country.
Tom and I got busy
when we moved to Midland.
We had Henry, Sarah,Jake and Mark
in consecutive years.
Then we went for magicnumber eight,
and instead..
we got the first set
of fraternal twins-Jessica and Kim.
- Nine kids.
- Come on, you guys. Come on.

With each child, Tom and I got further
from our big career dreams.
But we didn't thinkabout that.
Yeah!
Oh. Sorry, Coach.
We had our hands full with nine.
We were happy, and we were done.
Then we went to a party celebrating
Shake Maguire's appointment..

Synopsis: Suppose you're an attractive high school girl and you're not only a member of a large and unique family but your father is, in fact, one of the great pioneers of industrial efficiency. Then suppose he decides, for no apparent reason, to apply his unorthodox methods to you and to the rest of your big family.
