My father’s family (4 kids) had to move in with grandparents (and uncle) during the depression in Queens. Nine people, once bathroom. It was a VERY strained situation. The only Swedish words the kids knew were from the swearing from the adult arguments. However my father did learn to play some musical instruments from his grandfather, a happy memory for him.
