The kind of stories that get passed down and down and down forever. The story I'm going to tell you is about like one story, basically, that Allegra heard when she was in high school and that she thinks about constantly. Okay. To tell this story, we have to do some genealogy, you and me, to make sure that we understand the family tree. Okay.
Yes, you can.
Okay. So our main girl is Allegra. Okay. And we're going to be dealing with Allegra's grandfather's family.
Which is giant. I'm going to walk you through it. Okay. So Allegra is like the bottom of the tree, right?
Yeah, exactly. And above her is Allegra's mom. The level above that is what I'm going to call the grand level. And this is the level where most of our drama is going to take place.
So Allegra's mom's dad... her grandfather, his name is Enzo.
And Enzo is the youngest of 11 kids. Wow. You do not need to know all of them because that's too many people. You only need to know two other people on this level. The first one is Aunt Julia and the second is Aunt Maria. Got it. Okay. And then the final level of our tree is like the great grandparents, the original matriarch and patriarch of this family.
So Allegra heard this most important legend in her family when she was in high school, which was like a little more than a decade ago. And at this point, Grand Aunt Maria and Grand Aunt,
julia were in their like early 80s okay grand aunt maria is a character we're talking like always in a fur coat always in pearls always in skin tight leggings going out to the grocery store fur coat exactly where did her long dead husband's money come from don't ask that question i didn't say anything about that that's a different episode That's not our business. Okay.
So Grand Aunt Maria lives in this giant house, like sweeping staircase with a metal railing, a driveway that's a whole loop, like a big bathtub that can fit a whole adult. Like there's a fountain somewhere. Gotcha. And she lives there with her sister, Grand Aunt Julia.
You like it when sisters are friends?
Yeah. Grand Aunt Julia's whole thing is that she is the most dramatic woman to ever live. Like something gets spilled, she's crying. She hears a couple fighting, she assumes they're getting a divorce, right? Like she has to do laundry. It's the worst day of her life.
Exactly. Exactly. Okay. So in high school, Allegra goes over and her grand aunts tell her this story, which I will now tell you. Okay. Great-grandma matriarch had 10 beautiful children. Her youngest was 6 years old when she decided she wanted one more child. An 11th child.
It's so many children.
So she tries to have this 11th child for two years and does not become pregnant. And this is like very hard, right? During this time, she goes on a business trip with great-grandpa patriarch to San Diego.
And even though she was a Catholic woman, she was like so stressed and having such a hard time that she said, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to see a psychic.
You think it makes sense to see a psychic in San Diego. This is something that is reasonable to you.
Yeah. You're on vacation. So she goes to see the psychic in San Diego and the psychic gives her three predictions. The predictions are she needs to move apartments.
Unclear. The second is that she would be pregnant by the end of the year. And the third is that her eldest son, who was engaged at the time, must wait to get married until the baby was born.
At least 20.
