My parents did not get married until I was 15 years old, so as I child my parents and different surnames and I took my mothers. It should be noted that my parents still LIVED together, they just didn't get married. I, as most children do, thought that every family was basically the same as mine. So, when I was about 5 or 6, we went on holiday with another family. There was something about this family which rather confused me, so I asked my mum "mummy, why do they all have the same surname?". Well it DID seem rather strange....
