It's also possible they had one child and thought that would be it, then have a surprise when Mrs. Paroo was in her forties (not late fifties, but...)
I had a friend who was the older sister in a similar situation, but they were only twelve years apart (twin surprises in that situation).
To me, it's possible, but I think it's odd he decided to write it that way. There could be other ways to have a young boy in the house (orphaned nephew or cousin, etc.) I hope there is some explanation on the thinking. |
