RICHMOND, Va. -- The unwritten rule was basic, one that a household of 23 kids sharing two rooms and three beds had to adhere to when it came to sleeping arrangements: first come, first served. Kapri Bibbs knew if he wanted a spot on the bed, he had to be on it when it was time to sleep. And if he went to the bathroom at night, there was a good chance someone would grab the opening and he’d be back on the floor, one with no carpeting and more dirt than wood.
“Sometimes you’re laying there with nine kids and a twin bed,” said Bibbs, a Washington Redskins running back.
