Are you ready for this one?

No, you probably aren't.

Remember my neighbors, the ones who don't use toilet paper? Well, I happened to overhear a conversation today in which the oldest child was telling someone how the youngest had nursed until she was 4 and a half. And then proceeded to tell about how her brother nursed until he was... wait for it... 7 years old.

Maybe that's why he "never yearned to spell his own name." He was busy with other things.

Your grandfather was supposedly nursed until he was 3 (when his younger sister was born).
