1. Bob suggested I should say that I was born in Africa, but I’m not sure this counts as weird; so were millions of other people
Instead I shall say that I was brought up by a mother, a father, two sets of grandparents, an aunt and an uncle, each for varying amounts of time. Not sure this is the time to mention my stepmother…
2. I am a life-long member of the Sheila and her Dog society
3. At the beginning of my year abroad I spoke French like a Belgian, apparently :gallic shrug: Slightly better than my next-door neighbour Rairchul, who spoke grammatically perfect French with the most amazing Lancashire accent!
4. I have a degree in Modern and Medieval Languages, which means my French is okay, but my German is 15th – 17th century. My final year dissertation was on Petrarchan imagery in German Baroque love poetry
5. I decided to be a teacher
when I was 5 and realised I was going to be too tall to be a ballet dancer
6. I am a “Super Nutty Ultra-crunchy Granola Earth Mama”
– allegedly!
allegedly also super xrunchy – though scraped in by 1 point! rofl. degree course sounds fab.
you’re not weird, but the multiple parenting models is unhappy/unfortunate, or whatever word really should go there [insert mediaeval german word of choice]
LOL! I’m only Pretty Crispy…
I too am pretty crispy which isn’t bad considering I’m a fully signed up “carnivore”!
