One of the disadvantages was that it was hard to establish an identity among so many siblings. I spent my entire life answering, \u201cNow, which one are you?\u201d to people who only knew me as \u201cone of the Estep girls\u201d. They could never tell one of us from the other. Even my poor father had trouble putting the right name to the right face and settled with calling each one of his daughters, \u201cSis\u201d. We didn\u2019t have to be invited to a party to have fun. We could have our own party. Nor was there a need to join a choir since there were enough altos, sopranos, and tenors among us to fill up the Mormon Tabernacle. Whenever I hear Johnny Cash sing, \u201cDaddy Sang Bass\u201d, I remember what a good singing voice Daddy had. Only he sang baritone. In a family so large, there was no middle child . . . there were middle children, which is where I fit in. I must have been twelve years old before I realized my name wasn\u2019t \u201cTend to the Baby\u201d, because that was always my job. I didn\u2019t mind, though. It meant I could sit in the front porch swing and read my precious Modern Screen Magazine while I held the baby on my lap. I couldn\u2019t read enough about my favorite movie stars. (I planned to go to Hollywood to sing in the movies and marry John Payne when I grew up.) When someone asked my whereabouts, Mama\u2019s usual reply was, \u201cOh, she\u2019s on the front porch tending to the baby with her nose stuck in a movie magazine\u201d \u2014 my nose, not the baby\u2019s. The hedge row in front of the house grew switches as fast as Mama could use them up. As youngsters, we literally could not agree on anything. Nine times out of ten, these disagreements ended in a fight, which meant a switching from Mama.\u00a0 To add insult to injury, she made us fetch our own switch. If I brought back one that was too small, she turned me right around and sent me back for another. I made a lot of trips back and forth until I got one that satisfied her \u2014 I called it stalling, but it didn\u2019t work. I tried leaving all the leaves on it so it wouldn\u2019t sting, but that didn\u2019t work either. She just stripped them off until the switch was as clean as a whistle and did it smart when it made contact with my bare legs! Sometimes I avoided a whipping by outrunning her. \u201cYou\u2019ll catch it when I do get ahold of you,\u201d she would yell. But she soon forgot about it. There was always tomorrow, though, when I might not be so lucky. As I recall, Daddy never whipped us and we obeyed him as though he were \u201cGod the Father\u201d. But Mama, now Mama whipped us every little whip stitch and we weren\u2019t a bit afraid of her. When it came time to do the supper dishes, the scene that took place in our kitchen would put one in mind of Wide World of Wrestling. Mama would make one of us wash and another one dry. The sister I was paired with would always disappear into the bathroom when it was her turn to dry. I tell you, no dose of Ex Lax was as effective as a drainer full of dishes was to her. I would tell on her and a free-for-all would begin with the two of us slapping each other with dishtowels and slinging dishwater all over the kitchen. Then here would come Mama with that switch in her hand. This was a nightly ritual at our house. You could count on it.
