题目内容：

Dad loved children. And he always wanted a 21family. Eventually, he got what he wanted with twelve children in the family. Without fail, he would show us all to visitors.

Once, Dad 22presented the first three children in the family, Ann, Mary and Ernestine, to some visitors. Then he picked up a fourth child, and said, “And this is our 23model, complete with all the improvements. And don’t think that this is all, we are 24the 1953 model some time next month.”

But what he 25most was taking us out for a drive. On one occasion a man in a village we were passing through shouted 26that he had seen eleven people in our car, not 27Mum and Dad. 28, Dad called out over his shoulder, “You 29the second baby up from the front here, Mister.”

When Mum returned, she asked him if everything had been OK. He said everything was 32except that one of the children had been taught a lesson because he had been 33. When he pointed at the child that had been 34Mum looked at him calmly and said, “That’s not one of ours, dear. He 35next door.”
