The Alyson thing threw me off a bit as well. When they went from Jo to AJ I was like okay, maybe her first name starts with A and it was too long for her brothers to pronounce so they started calling her Jo (presuming her middle name was either just Jo or something with Jo in it) but that theory was blown out of the water today when they named Alyson. Logically it would have been shorted to Aly? I don't know. I think I am, for my own sanity, going to just say Chris and Kyle wanted another brother so they called  her Jo instead. The age thing, I think is spot on. When Chris first tells the MC about his siblings I think he says he has a brother named Kyle who is 11 or 12 and a sister named Jo who is 8 or 9.

What really bothers me about this chapter (and I mostly liked it) is how easily Chris' mom agreed to let Frank escort AJ home! Maybe it is because I am the child of divorce and seen my step dad try to keep my little brother after a visitation but it seemed really unrealistic that Barb would just let Frank bring AJ home without Chris along.
