Personal Narrative: My Engelhardt Family

The Engelhardt family is an odd looking bunch. They all look different, no two are the same. There are three boys and four girls. The girls are short, 5’5” and under. The only exception is my Aunt Lisa who is around 5’7”. The Uncles range from 5’7” to 5’11”. My Uncle Don is particularly weird looking, his eyes bug out a tad, he was born with clubbed feet (corrected now), and his torso is really long, but legs are really short.
