| On their first date,
my parents went to see |
00:00:39.527 - 00:00:42.758 |
| ''Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.'' |
00:00:42.927 - 00:00:44.645 |
| lt was my dad's favorite movie |
00:01:01.567 - 00:01:03.558 |
| and after that
it became my mom's too. |
00:01:03.727 - 00:01:06.799 |
| They decided to have 7 sons
and name them as in the movie. |
00:01:06.967 - 00:01:10.846 |
| l'm the youngest of 6 brothers: |
00:01:11.007 - 00:01:12.838 |
| Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, |
00:01:13.007 - 00:01:15.760 |
| Daniel and me, Ephraim. |
00:01:15.927 - 00:01:18.521 |
| Biblical names in alphabetical order
from eldest to youngest, |
00:01:18.847 - 00:01:21.964 |
| like in the movie. But after me,
they didn't have any more. |
00:01:22.127 - 00:01:25.358 |
| Remember the alphabet: |
00:01:25.527 - 00:01:27.085 |
| Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel,
Ephraim, Frank and Gideon. |
00:01:27.247 - 00:01:29.556 |
| Later on, my eldest brother
had a daughter |
00:01:29.727 - 00:01:32.036 |
| and called her Fran
to keep the tradition. |
00:01:32.207 - 00:01:34.675 |
| l asked my dad once how he knew
he'd have only boys. |
00:01:36.767 - 00:01:39.759 |
| And he said that everyone's life
resembles a movie. |
00:01:39.927 - 00:01:43.442 |
| And that ours was
''Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.'' |
00:01:43.607 - 00:01:47.156 |
| That our life is a musical comedy. |
00:01:47.327 - 00:01:49.557 |
| Of course he told me all this |
00:01:49.687 - 00:01:50.642 |
| before my mom left him
and moved out. |
00:01:50.807 - 00:01:52.684 |
| That was not long ago |
00:01:53.967 - 00:01:55.161 |
