So Chris , I've heard that you're from a big family . How many people ?   Nine total . Seven children and my parents .   Seven children ? That's a lot . Why did your parents have so many ?   Well , my mother came from a big family , and wanted to have one of her own . My father was an only child , and didn't really care about having a large family , but my mother talked him into it .   Jeez , seven children . That must have a lot of problems . We have four children in my family and my grandparents can never get our names right .   It can be hard , and there are certain sacrifices you have to make .
