While working today I realized I’ve shared very little about my family background in this blog. So here is a quick list of me.
- my father is the eldest of 21.
- 21 – I’m not kidding
- yes, from one mother.
- no, there were not any twins.
- yes, she delivered most (if not all) natural birth.
- therefore my father is an amazing man with crazy stories and experiences.
- he reminds me of Bill Cosby.
- well minus the dr. part and plus farmer joe?
- my mother is a city girl.
- i think that’s where I get it.
- i have 2 siblings
- older brother & younger sister
- my sister was a foster child when i was 13 and she was 3
- we then later adopted her
- no, this is not something we talk about much in the family
- but it’s an experience i cherish
- my brother was always the “favorite”
- he says i was
- this difference in opinion came out (loudly) at thanksgiving dinner a few years ago
- and of course has not been mentioned since
- i have some close relation to jews
- yea no clue why
- but my life mentors and those i closely respect have all been older female jews
- i love them
- maybe the black and jew thing hand in hand
- similar struggle?
- yea that sounds like a pile of crap to me too
- i went to BU for music
- classical
- how did a black farm girl get into classical?
- i ask myself that (LOL)
- but my parents told me my brother had football – so i needed to find my way to college too
- the family land (sorta farm) was what my fathers side was given after the slavery times
- 7 acres and a mule?
- i don’t know what happened to the mule
- i kinda wonder if they got one
That’s it for now.
