And what I'm doing is I'm going to connect them to the last person I'm talking about because the last person I'm talking about is their mother.
Yeah, these dudes have a mother.
Her name is Grylia and she's their mama.
She actually predates them in Icelandic legend as an ogress who kidnaps, cooks, and eats children that don't obey their parents.
So she originally was just used like, hey, obey your parents all the time or she's going to come down anytime during the year and just take you and cook you and eat you.
But she became associated with Christmas in the 17th century because they had the Yule Lads and they were like, the Yule Lads need a mom.
So they just associated her with them.
Yeah, they were like, they need a mama.
So according to the legend...
gree i'm not saying her name right grila or grelia had three different husbands get it girl and she had 72 children now when we talked about the lawson family and they had eight kids we were like one might say that's too many 72 children is far too many
Girl, even the Duggars stopped before that.
Or are they still on their way?
I think they're trying to get there.
Now, all these 72 children ranged from just being kind of mischievous to just straight up murdering people.
Which, if you have 72 kids, there are bound to be a few hooligans and murderers among you.
