Family
Grandma Carter came into the world ten years after her older siblings, and she decided it was her job to follow their example. The stories she tells are truly amazing. A boy could almost believe that Minnesota really was a land of wild animals and dangerous creatures back then. Where things that went bump in the night were actually trying to kill you. Personally, I think she just enjoys pulling the legs of impressionable young children. Like the boy I was back then. But Grandma Carter truly grew up cleaning and maintaining their weapons as the twins tracked down every report they got of animals attacking humans. They even went into Russian and Chinese territory. That kind of permission was hard to get back then, but it made them real world travelers.
