Yeah, we're not bullying the babies. It doesn't even work, you know. If it did... I still wouldn't want to do it! (The winking is also how we all do Santa and the Tooth Fairy, btw. Good thing, too - the older niece, we realize years after starting that policy, is just the sort to feel incredibly tricked and betrayed if she found out the truth in the conventional way.)
My family has a few multiple copies of books just so we could all read them at the same time without a battle.
Your family is sensible. All we have multiple copies of are Roget's Thesaurus. I ask you, why would *any* family need more copies of that book than they have members?
