| On their first date,
my parents went to see |
00:00:40.959 - 00:00:44.376 |
| "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." |
00:00:44.501 - 00:00:46.334 |
| It was my dad's favorite movie |
00:01:03.917 - 00:01:06.042 |
| and after that
it became my mom's too. |
00:01:06.209 - 00:01:09.376 |
| They decided to have 7 sons
and name them as in the movie. |
00:01:09.542 - 00:01:13.584 |
| I'm the youngest of 5 brothers: |
00:01:13.751 - 00:01:15.667 |
| Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, |
00:01:15.834 - 00:01:18.709 |
| Daniel and me, Ephraim. |
00:01:18.876 - 00:01:21.584 |
| Biblical names in alphabetical order
from eldest to youngest, |
00:01:21.917 - 00:01:25.209 |
| like in the movie. But after me,
they didn't have any more. |
00:01:25.376 - 00:01:28.709 |
| Remember the alphabet: |
00:01:28.876 - 00:01:30.501 |
| Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel,
Ephraim, Frank and Gideon. |
00:01:30.667 - 00:01:33.126 |
| Later on, my eldest brother
had a daughter |
00:01:33.292 - 00:01:35.667 |
| and called her Fran
to keep the tradition. |
00:01:35.834 - 00:01:38.417 |
| I asked my dad once how he knew
he'd have only boys. |
00:01:40.584 - 00:01:43.709 |
| And he said that everyone's life
resembles a movie. |
00:01:43.876 - 00:01:47.542 |
| And that ours was
"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." |
00:01:47.709 - 00:01:51.417 |
| That our life is a musical comedy. |
00:01:51.584 - 00:01:53.917 |
| Of course he told me all this |
00:01:54.084 - 00:01:55.244 |
| before my mom left him
and moved out. |
00:01:55.251 - 00:01:57.209 |
| That was not long ago |
00:01:58.501 - 00:01:59.751 |
