Riddle
Take a couple, say Ruby and Marvin
How many siblings?
How many aunts and uncles?
How many first cousins?
How many first cousins' spouses...if you married the same person twice, it only counts once.
How many first cousins once removed...or is that second cousins?
How many oh, Kate, Terrell, Josh, Melanie you have to help with the next generation.
At Beulah (which was kind of magical)how many kids can you sleep on two bunk beds?
Four bunk beds?
Where do you sleep the left-over kids?
Where do the adults sleep? (hint, this is a trick question)

I don't do high numbers like brothers, sisters, spouses and so forth. But I have also been thinking about Beulah. Two bunk beds could sleep 8; so four could sleep 16. We would push the beds together and sleep crossways--four on bottom and four on top. Of course, if the kids were smaller, there might be more. As for adults sleeping, most didn't. They played cards or dominoes all night. Uncle Franklin slept in the single bed in the big middle room(kitchen/eating). It was in the corner under the first aid kit. And he would drop his pants if he got ready to go to bed--no matter who was in the room. He did warn us though.
Manager 1:
Left over kids had options:
1 - to sleep on cots on the porch
2 - to sleep in the little house across from the club house
3 - to sleep in the trailer - Simpsons (was it?)
