To this very day I can still hear grandmother telling my sisters in the kitchen, "Too many cooks spoil the broth!" and grandfather saying, "Oh let them help, mother." Then "I said, too many cooks spoil the broth, bunch of idiots!" and grandfather "Better leave her alone girls. She may try to set fire to your dresses again... AND TAKE YOUR MEDICINE, Mother!"
Somehow, you just never forget those old days and the screaming firetrucks.
