A Little Diversion

People tend not to use the name "Sakrison" and the word "normal" in the same sentence. I was once asked whether anyone in my family suffers from insanity. I had to be honest. I said, "We don't suffer from it; we really enjoy it."

True Story:  My firstborn daughter has been a nerd (and proud of it) since before nerditude was cool. Both our girls attended a small private grade school where most of the families went to the same church. Ingrid was in third grade when a classmate approached her one day and asked, "Ingrid, why are you so strange?" Her teacher told me Ingrid didn't miss a beat. She turned to her classmate and responded, "Have you met my father?"
