Ginger:  I had a similar thought.  Perhaps MM and DD were sitting 
down discussing potential prefects, and came up with either Fred or 
George, or couldn't decide between the two, and offered prefecthood 
to first one then the other, or both at once, and F&G protested 
vehemently that it would infringe mightly upon their lifestyle.  DD 
twinkled, and offered it to (insert prefect of that year).

Molly would have been proud, but angry, thus her comment could be 
meant in two ways:  "That's everyone in the family appointed.  I'm so 
proud." and "That's everyone in the family, if it weren't for you two 
hooligans who wouldn't accept it.

On the other hand,  Molly could have been like a coworker of mine 
last fall who announced with pride that "all my kids made the varsity 
football team!"  She got some ribbing about how her kindergartner son 
would manage to work it in around naptime and how her gradeschool 
daughters (very petite) would fit under the padding.  She had, of 
course, meant that her 3 high school aged sons who had tried out for 
football had made the team.

My parents do the same thing.  "All our kids were in..."  except for 
one of us who wasn't.  Just generalizing that the majority were.  And 
yes, the one left out usually has a comment, although not as witty 
as "next door neighbours".  I'll have to try that one.

Ginger, who would rather be a Molly than some of the mothers in this 
world if she had kids.
