Conservative Smokeshow of the Day

My dad worked long hours running a small construction business, and my mom worked as a receptionist at a local medical office. We weren't rich by any means, but we always had what we needed. Looking back, I realize how much my parents sacrificed to give us a comfortable childhood.

I have two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. My brother was always the athletic one, while my sister was more interested in music and art. I was somewhere in the middle. I loved reading, spending time with my friends, and asking way too many questions about everything.
