	Named "Sam", after his father, at the insistence of his mother, he was born during the climax of events at the end of {{NW}}. His birth proved in the end to be difficult, due to his mother's age, so his father brought in Dr. [[John Lawn]], the best doctor he knew about to help save both the mother and the baby. Already 14 months old by the time of the events of {{T!}}, Young Sam is able to lift his head, stand upright whilst holding onto the rails of his cot, distinguish the difference between his father and his mother, and can say "'''Da!'''"

	According to his father, Young Sam seems to have a "very accurate internal clock". His father reads {{WMC?}}, Young Sam's favourite book, to Young Sam, with all the noises, every night at 6:00 PM SHARP. When this book is being read to him, Young Sam likes to crow along with all the animal noises with his father as ~~its~~ read to him. This bond between them has become a major preoccupation for Sam Sr. since Young Sam was born, and is, perhaps, Sam Sr.'s salvation in {{T!}}.

	Young Sam loves the {{WMC?}} picture book so-much that it is described as having to be "''the most-cuddled book in the world''", and has been chewed-upon on many occasions by him over time; Young Sam is also in the habit of using his father's helmet as a substitute for a teddy bear from time-to-time. Young Sam's nursery is pink and blue and packed with a collection of woolly, fluffy stuffed toys. Many of Young Sam's cuddly toys have, apparently, been in the Ramkin family for generations, out of their habit of never throwing anything away that might be used again (their attics are packed with the things they don't throw out.)

Many of Young Sam's cuddly toys have, apparently, been in the Ramkin family for generations, out of their habit of never throwing anything away that might be used again (their attics are packed with the things they don't throw out.)

	Sam Sr. usually doesn't tolerate others in the nursery during his and Young Sam's time together at storytime; the sole exceptions seem to be Sybil, (of course) and [[Dribble]] the dragon, one of Sybil's older [[swamp dragon]]s, who always looks for somewhere warm to slump, has been observed to clamber up the stairs and takes point underneath Young Sam's cot every day and even sleeps under there time-to-time (no-one knows why exactly). The whistling noises that Dribble makes in his sleep do not seem to bother Young Sam while he's napping. Young Sam, like Dribble, also drools in his sleep.

The whistling noises that Dribble makes in his sleep do not seem to bother Young Sam while he's napping. Young Sam, like Dribble, also drools in his sleep.

	It is also revealed that, one evening, after a trying day, Sam Sr. had ad-libbed his own version of ''Where's My Cow?'', called the "Vimes street version", to Young Sam, reasoning that, since they lived in a city, Young Sam would be unlikely to hear many, (if any,) of these noises. Instead of searching for a lost cow, the person, (Young Sam) is looking for his Daddy. ~~Since~~ Young Sam, "with a child's unerring instinct for this sort of thing", tried to repeat one of the "sounds", ("~~Buglit~~") made in the "Vimes street version", ~~("[[Foul Ole Ron\|Bugrit]]")~~ to the nursemaid, Sam Sr. has stuck rigidly to the "authorized version" since, (and ~~his mother,~~ Sybil~~, has~~, mercifully, never brought it up.)

Sam Sr. has stuck rigidly to the "authorized version" since, (and Sybil, mercifully, has never brought it up).

	Young Sam shares a very special bond with his father. When having gone up to [[Koom Valley]] on a [[Broomstick]]-upgraded coach, which Young Sam enjoyed riding in very much thanks to the Show of the Year (Detritus, Grag Bashfullsson etc. all joining in with the noises of ''Where's My Cow?'') in-order to pursue the [[Deep-Downers]] for their crimes, Sam Sr. was trapped underground. When, after having been unfailingly on-time for story-time for so long, Sam Sr. was kept from making it back on-time for their story time, Young Sam started crying when he saw that his father wasn't there to read to him.
