Meet My Folks III

For those less cool than Dichotomy, you can see the segment KSL did on my folks' pumpkin patch on my brother, Craig's blog. (You can also start to get to know my brother Craig there as well -- he's number 9; I'm number 10 in the family.)

My little brother, Spencer (number 11, the lasht [sic] one -- 10 points if you can guess the reference), is the one helping my pa with the 120 lb pumpkin.

My nephew, Seth (scrud, I don't know where he lies in the Pankratz Niece/Nephew Cardinality... but he's the first son and second child of my brother, Peter -- number 7) is the kid running through the field at the beginning.

I would assume it obvious who my mummsie and pa are.


In other news, I guess it's customary to throw confetti and make annoying sounds to signify my 100th post... so... [confetti] ... [annoying sounds] ...

... do people ever get confetti 'shrapnel' ? I've had many-a-hay sliver... not pleasant... festers almost instantly.

Jumping off of a stack of three one-ton bales of hay onto concrete is not pleasant on the legs.

Using several acres of alfalfa as an imaginary world... priceless.

Thinking about slipping away permanently into your imaginary world... worrying... freeing ... ?

  1. You have my family beat! I'm number 8 out of 10 kids.

    Are the number of neices and nephews growing out of control?

  2. I doubt there are very many less cool than Dichotomy. :)

  3. Oh, and if it's a competition, we're tied--eleven kids in my family, too (I'm number 5).

    But it's a "Brady Bunch" thing... I've got five siblings and five step-siblings. Does that count?

    Big families sure make get-togethers interesting, don't they?

    The boom is slowing, but there are still three of us who have yet to start our own families... plus the first wave of nieces and nephews is just about to hit the family-starting phase (one niece is already married)... so I'm sure there's going to be another boom.

    I know I'm rather eager to get my family going.

    ... sorry... that's cheating...

    (But, don't worry, there's no loss of coolness.)
