She cares for the youngsters Just as though they were her own, correcting them when nec essary, but never trying to take them away from the parents. "We never try to steal their love," she said. "We try to teach them to love their parents." The couple, who have six chil dren with them now, said they're all fine youngsters. "They're normal -and healthy. They argue back and forth, give each other black eyes and are always ready to demand candy and cookies."
