has a white cowboy hat. The woman next to him with the beautiful smile is my mom. She’s with my little sister, Gabriela. All the other children and teenagers in the photo are my
cousins. How many are there? Twenty! That’s because my mom has four sisters and five brothers, but not all my aunts and uncles are in this photo. My grandparents have 22 grandchildren: 12 granddaughters and ten grandsons. What’s life like in a large family? There are many cool things. We all live near each other, so there is always someone to play with. We share everything – our toys, our clothes, and sometimes even our food. We also have great parties. Dinnertime is a little noisy. And the children sometimes get angry at each other, but we always talk and quickly forget all about it. At school, the teachers sometimes don’t remember our names!
