Top 10 survival strategies growing up with four brothers:
10. Learn double-pig Latin to talk with Marianne on the telephone party line
9. Use bedroom floor grate to spy on brothers
8. When swinging off rope and jumping into hay in barn, avoid hidden pitchforks
7. Only pretend to enjoy playing in the Kendon forest with Ken and Don
6. Remember to pull the shades when reading mystery novels in the small TV room downstairs to avoid being scared by Donny who's standing in window with his stocking cap down over his face waiting to scare you
5. If you're going to break into the old school house on 'G' insist that your brothers take the fall when you get caught.
4. Remember to use the restroom before leaving for the "downtown" Wayside theater to watch serial movies. Keep a sharp lookout for Donny hiding in the ditch as he will try to jump out and scare you.
3. Cry that you can't live without him when Billy gets lost in corn
2. Scream really, really loud when the Christmas tree starts on fire and stand back as Gerry carries it out of the house.
1. Just ignore him when Donny when he calls you girl-y
