Monica Wolf (formerly Masse) lives in London, about 80 kilometers south of the town of Saint Joseph, Ont. where she and her 10 brothers and 10 sisters grew up.
Monica, now 87-years-old, was born 24 years after her oldest sibling and two years before her youngest.
When baby 21 arrived, it made international headlines.
The Masse’s grew up on a farm, she says, and by the time she came around, they had created a fairly self-sustaining life for themselves.
“I mean, I was a spoiled brat,” Monica says with a laugh. “Because if you’re the second youngest, let’s face it, you always have someone looking after you.”
