True!
But I should note that "amygdale" (tonsil) is derived from "amygdalo" (almond). I guess tonsils are thus named 'cause they are either almond-shaped or almond-flavored (yum-yum).
So her family could, alternatively, be almond enthusiasts.

There's a pun about nutty in there somewhere, but I'm heroically resisting it!
