When I was a kid my older brother told me that I was left on the doorstep by gypsies.

And that one night very soon...they would come back and steal me away.

1. My two sons told their younger sister that we got her by trading

some magic beans for her.

She thought that she came with the house we bought, and her real parents took the magic beans in trade, and we got her along with the house.

I didn't find out about that one until she was in high school, when her brothers were giving her grief about the magic beans were worth a lot more than she was, and how we got screwed in the deal.

2. I just remember thinking....wow...that makes sense

I felt like I completely didn't fit in with my family or community from a very young age.

Gyspsies sounded about right though.

My older brother was trying to both hurt my feelings and scare me.

But instead he gave me a glimmer of hope.

My cousin and I had a dream of taking a horse-drawn gypsy wagon vacation in Switzerland many years ago, after seeing an article somewhere.

9. My mom used to tell us that she was going to sell us to the "shinny man".I always

thought he was a gypsy or something...to this day I really don't know what that meant.

13. Us kids heard from other people from time to time how much our dad liked us all

and how he always bragged about his wonderful home and family.

We figured he must have had another family somewhere that he really liked......
