Up until this very moment, my brother has told me that I was adopted from the jungles of Africa. He would tell me that my Dad saw me floating on a leaf, and that one day, I would have to go back to my real parents. As a kid, I used to freak out everytime he brought it up. Even today, he still teases me.
