"Your wants would make a poor body rich!"

Terry says his poor mammy's head was done in. Sean feels sorry for his parents.

"I came from a big family," says Terry in Strabane, "and Sean, my poor mammy's head was done in with us all. She used to say to us, 'Your wants would make a poor body rich!'"

"I never heard that expression," Sean says, "but it's a wheeker, a great expression! We were very bad for our parents when we were growing up."

"That was the boys," Janet says.

"The girls were carrying on too," Sean says. "It's not a one-way street."

"We played with our dolls and our wee houses," Janet says.

With music from Billy Swan, Status Quo, Frankie McBride, and more.
