There are 7 years between me and the next oldest. When I became an adult they told me I was quite a surprise so they had my little brother so I would have a playmate.....needless to say I was an oopsie
• My mom put off-brand fruit loops in the brand name box for 15 yrs. I never knew

• Their love.
• That the guy on my Birth Cert. wasn't my real father(never knew him anyhow) and I was a product of a one night stand.

• TQOTD - I found out that although I was growing up like we were broke as hell, my mom was actually making bank, but my dad was really bad with money and that is why they never had a lot for the kids, because he was selfish and spending it all on himself and his cars.

I didn't realize until much later that he didn't make any of those songs up and now I'm determined to find every song he would sing parts of and add it to my playlist.
• My parents divorced when I was less than a year old. In high school my brother and I would invite my dad to sporting events, but he would always have some excuse like he had to work, etc. Turns out, after becoming adults we found out he was not allowed at or even near schools. He is on the naughty list. We no longer have any contact with him. Ain't nobody got time for no child molesters.
