My Samoan Family has roughly 30 something people in it. Not even joking. Aiomanu and Tala had 11 kids, and most of them got married and had kids. These are two of Vasati (the 2nd eldest)'s children.
I was so grateful to have so many kids at this house, mainly because they seem to be more patient with helping me learn, and are used to being misunderstood/ having to interpret what their younger sibling (who can't speak yet) wants.
I also think that they were sucking up because they knew I was bringing gifts at the end of the week. They kept drawing me pictures of remote control cars and dolls and things-- I'm talking FLOODS of pictures. At first I thought it was cute, but then they got more explicit. The kids started drawing themselves in the pictures with the toys as though they were happily receiving these gifts from me.
