Everybody say, "One ... two ... three ... sassafras!" It's time for the Lumpkin family reunion, and all 8 cousins have to line up by age for their pictures. Getting into the right order is hard enough - but staying there is impossible! |
“"I'll take you all together," said Uncle Howie. "Line up from youngest to oldest." "I'm 15," said Tanya. She was definitely the oldest.”
