Page 130 Paragraph 4
Quote:
"Everybody loved Dodo, although the swelling size of her family was the talk of the neighborhood. The older people around , like my mother, had two children, and the younger, mmore prosperous ones had four, but nobody but Dodo was on the verge of a seventh. Even was considered excessive, but then, everybody said, of course Dodo was Catholic."

Even the people that are loved try to talk to her. They may think that it is different to have so many children, but I don't see the real problem. Dodo may have a growing family, but that doesn't mean that she's a total goof ball and crazy because she just wants to have a family, and if she cnadt show it with her love for her family.They say that it is okay that she is havimg so many kids, they just say that it is because she is Catholic. The Catholic's can't use birthcontrol.
