This is about "What's eating Gilbert Grape" Gabby-short for Gabriella and her family have a little more than what other families have. AMY is the oldest and has taken over the role of mother. GILBERT is the second oldest child and has more assignments than he can handle. GABBY is technically two years younger than Gilbert and works and shares duties with Amy. ARNIE is Gilbert's most grueling job and is the second most youngest. Arnie suffers from a disorder and is unable to take care of himself. ELLEN, the youngest and most undisturbed of them all. 15 years and no plans to help unnecessarily.
