When Denece was expecting her fourth child, Delbert expressed his desire to have a brother. He didn't want another sister. He claimed that if it was a girl, he would throw her in the pond, which was more of a swamp out behind the house. Denece and Edwin were worried about coming home from the hospital because Delbert had gotten another sister, Denece Ann Perkins. Edwin came home to tell the family it was a girl. He took one of the girls' dolls and told the kids that they had a lovely baby sister just like the doll. When Delbert finally met his new baby sister, he said, "aw, isn't she sweet?" Delbert never did throw D.Ann in the pond. . . At least while she was a new born.
