Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes?

Trudy, it's not that traditional to be the 8th kid, surely?
I'm traditional? Who knew?
Yep, 8th out of 8. However, there were never 8 in the house at one time (though four girls shared a bed for a time, believe it or not - my oldest sister got the solo bed at the same time in the same room).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yep, 8th out of 8
Was there a 7th son? Of a 7th son?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mostly, though, I'm happy this wasn't the reaction when Giuliani was talking about a third term.
As I recall, he wasn't so much seeking a third term as an extension of his current second one. T'was a bit... fascist.
The wee brother holding his big brother's hand and putting washcloths on his face is breaking my heart, in a good way.
They're seven and ten. And I can hardly stand it myself.
I have a video of Matilda hopping around the kitchen cackling gleefully, but this computer is uncooperative so it'll have to wait until I can get over to the more docile laptop.
I have seen you cackle -- my bwain photoshop will work for now.
8 kids in one house makes my head spin. My father's many half-sibs were scattered across houses.
It wasn't a big house either. My Grandparents had one bedroom, the youngest two or three had the two little ones next to theirs, and the bigger boys were lined up in the attic. And they only had one bathroom. (Eventually they built a shower in the basement. They'd come in through the garage after whatever practice and leave their stench downstairs.)
We only had 7 kids in my family, but baby pictures of the last 2 are scarce.
My Aunt could bond with them!
Yep, 8th out of 8. However, there were never 8 in the house at one time
The oldest moved out at 19 when the youngest was 4, but soon his daughter was around during the day so it all balanced out.
(though four girls shared a bed for a time, believe it or not - my oldest sister got the solo bed at the same time in the same room).
You SO beat the attic of boys!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Slightly up, but headed back down (which I originally typed "bacj diwb," so possibly I'm more tired than I thought).
We used to have an active night shift of USian insomniacs and international Buffistas just waking up, but it's quieted down in the last year or so (or maybe they're all just hiding out in the gaming thread or Tech or someplace else I don't usually go).
