"Large" or "small" depend greatly on your own personal perspective.  To Loretta, who grew up in a family of two children, five to seven sounds huge.  (To Reg, who was an only child, it probably sounds even huger.)  To Felincia, who grew up in a family of fourteen, five to seven sounds quite small and entirely reasonable.  By the way, in case you can't tell from context, Joseph and Eva are Reg's parents' names.  For some reason, he does not consider them namesake material.
