The world according to Matthew

As the oldest brother, Matthew enjoys a certain amount of hero-status among his younger brothers. They often ask him questions and he enjoys giving long lectures to them - mostly on things like Pokemon attacks and the characters in Star Wars, etc... In the last 3rd grade book order, Matthew purchased the All new, 2007, Guiness book of World Records. As a trivia buff, these sorts of useless facts are just the type of thing Matthew enjoys collecting in that brain of his. In the car this afternoon, Matthew was explaining some of his new-found knowledge to William. Since we have twins, multiple birth families are of some interest to us. In Matt's book there was a woman who gave birth to SEVEN babies at one time. "You know what that's called, Will?" Asked Matt. "It's called 7-up-lets." I think the family might need to be alerted to this fact, since they've probably been calling their children septuplets. Also, I think the Coca-cola company might like to know they could possibly use this family as advertisement for their popular soft drink! :-)
