A Day in the Life of the Cents Family






















This is Frank's family and his brother, Makesno's, family. So here we have a combination of Frank N. Cents' family and Makesno Cents' family.....Pictured with the kids is the maternal matriarch, Non. Non Cents was the daughter of Italian first generation Americans, Hu and Rita Nu. Hu and Rita gave birth to Non back in 1943. Because Non was an awnry little girl, Rita Nu and Hu Nu were often heard scolding their daughter, "Non Nu! Non Nu! get over hear this instant!!"....but I digress.... Non eventually grew up and married the eldest son of the Cents family, Horse. Now Horse Cents was also known to be a bit awnry. My paternal grandparents, In and Two Cents, were not the most loving couple. In Cents was very possesive and chauvinistic. He would often refer to my grandmother as "his" as if she was his property. In fact, sources say while living in Oak Sun, NJ, In Cents was seen throwing "his" Two Cents around and blamed her for her lack of Horse Cents' behavior .....but again I digress.....After Non and Horse Cents married, it wasn't long before they gave birth to our eldest brother, Nu. Nu took on our maternal grandparents surname. Now Nu Cents was a gifted artist but unfortunately Nu's life was cut way too short. His legacy lives on however. My father constructed a handicap ramp in honer of him at our childhood church and now everyone in our hometown is reminded of the infamous Nu Cents.....So now you know the history of the Cents family. Enjoy! (but please refrain from inappropriate comments....use your Common Cents)
