@wendynather Only one answer. "Genetics....Good luck and enjoy the ride."

@wendynather A friend of mine once asked her mother that question. Her mother's answer was, "because of things I tried really hard to make sure never happened to you."

@wendynather

usually, when my family asks *me* why i'm like this, my response is "i haven't been able to hire anyone else able and willing to be like this".
