Cramily Values

We all know them; they are our neighbors and coworkers; they come from afar and nearby. And somehow they manage to fit their entire immediate and extended family into one house! Sometimes their businesses are also operated out of these homes. How 23 people live under one roof is beyond me.
We judge. We may not admit it (I do) but we judge. We wonder why they think cramming 4 generations into one house is a good idea.

Where do they sleep? Maybe they sleep in shifts!

Even now you are picturing that family you know down the street that seems to be a clown car of humanity. Maybe they even have a constant rotation of junky cars. So what do they look like? Hispanic? Korean? Middle Eastern? I will admit that I often picture these "Cramlies" (crammed in family) as an international friend. But just the other morning I realized something...this is all OUR FAULT!! I shall tell you why...
We originated the Cramily and even popularized it! Two words; Full House. Yes, little Michele and hug happy Danny Tanner are just the ones I mention. Think about it. There are at least 3 families in that small San Fransisco home. What's worse is that they're not even blood related!! How the HOA never put a stop to them is a wonder! At its peak Danny, DJ, Stephanie, Michele (which there were two of), Joey, Jessy, Becky, Nicky, Alex, and Comet the dog all resided in the three level home where an advertising production company, a comedy act, and a rock band all operated out of. Not to mention the revolving door of girlfriends, boyfriends, mothers, and musicians. The house has also seen its fair share of the animal kingdom; including but not limited to a turtle, a monkey, a donkey, a horse, a ferret, and even the Beach Boys!
Face it, we can no longer blame immigrants for the Cramily. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Jeff Franklin.
