Full House

Full House. The little house in the poor part of the town walls looking ready to burst . when the newlyweds long time ago it was small for them and they spoke of getting another one. Time was hard and one child after another was born, eight in all. The long ago newlywed, joked they had to wait to get the house back when the children became adult and could find their own place to live; it took time and finally they were alone, but not at peace, the whole quarter of rickety houses was being erased like removing memories of hard times, and the bulldozers came. The couple got a small flat in a high rise building and with their children moving in or out according to their bad luck in life, the small flat was soon full of bickering adult children.
