Hmm.. wait a second..
It says Ash is from a large family, however, it says she is one of 4 children.
That is not a large family.
In comparison to some, it would seem like it. And moreso if the current trend of family sizing continues.
But as someone who comes from an exceptionally large family, I snickered at Shep's "sounds like a big family" line.
"Big family"...
Four kids is big in today's era, by today's standards.
Yeah, I'm one of eight... so by my standards it is not a big family.
My Grandpa (who's from the Philipines) is one of 11. I'd call that big. In fact, I'd call anything over 5 to be big, 4 if both parents work.
I'm from a family of 4 children and don't think my family is big. If the age group is similar enough, number of children doesn't stand out as much.
When you have four children, each of them going to different schools and/or college, then it seems bigger than when you have four children, 3 in high school and one in middle school.
