They did have, you know, like a stillborn, a miscarriage here or there, whatever.
But yeah, so there was 10, one of them being my grandmother.
And the way that they lived was different.
I'm not sure the different types of Christianity, but they're the ones that don't watch TV, don't believe in birth control or condoms, or they wear long skirts, they don't cut their hair.
I liken it to almost being Amish, but they don't have the little head things or they still drive a car and stuff like that.
My great-grandfather owns a church, and so they go to church every Sunday at his church.
And that was a church that I grew up going to as well.
My whole family does it.
So they all get together every Sunday, if not even more than every Sunday.
So this family is really close-knit.
And as you'd imagine, 10 kids, they go out, they have the same goals, have as many kids as possible, spread the word of God.
So I've got millions of cousins, whatever is what it feels like.
What I know about my grandmother is my grandmother was...
defiant I'm not sure why but when she was younger like a teenager she ran away and it's my understanding that she was sexually assaulted and had to come back home and she was pregnant with my mom and she again she was a teenager so she had my mom as a teenager and my mom actually had me when she was a teenager so I come from a line of teen moms which is
you know, comes with a whole list of issues.
But yeah, so my grandma became my grandma when she was like 30.
And I think that's crazy.
It's kind of like from my grandma down, they kind of fall off.
