    Nope Sonny said he was 20

    Yes because it's so easy to keep track of 25 children. Their's no possible room for error.

    not really. My mother came from a large family. And like most large families there are a lot of years between the first and last child. By the time she went to school most of her siblings were married or working. So I doubt there was ever 25 Listons to keep track of in the same home at the same time.

    I don’t know how many youngsters Tobe and Hellen had living at home at any one time. But Since Hellen herself was 14 when she started having children I think it’s fair to say they moved on at a pretty young age in that household. I’d bet the first 12 kids Tobe had with his first wife were long gone. Sonny was number 12 with wife number 2. As many as three might have flown the nest by then. So it is a much smaller number to keep track of.
