I have to finish up Thanksgiving shopping tonight and I start cooking tomorrow. SO GLAD to have my sister here to help.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Depends. Jade or emerald?
Maybe there are aliens in the lab helping to preserve your secret until the right moment.
Conspiracy theory. I like.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

When I was a kid, I was convinced I was a princess and that my parents had brought me to America so I would grow up nice and not stuck up. The Nameless but Very Pretty Like In The Movies Foreign Land I was princess of had been removed from all the books and maps I would ever see, so I would never even know it existed until the time was right and I was whisked off to take my rightful place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I was a kid, I was convinced everyone was lying to me, about something big. Like boys were girls and girls were boys (yeah, I never thought it that far through) or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It still could happen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was convinced I was adopted. I look exactly like my Mother. But I was CERTAIN that one day they would tell me.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Me, too, Trudy! I, and 3 of my siblings, look so much alike our baby pictures get mixed up, but I was POSITIVE I was adopted.

When I was a kid, I wondered if my whole reality (parents, siblings, fellow students) was all part of some elaborate scientific experiment on me. I figured that if this were true, I'd have no way of knowing. After thinking about it, I figured that it was probably not true, and since I could never know for certain, it made the most sense for me just to live my life as if it were not true.
(If you guys are all part of the experiment, you can tell me....)

Hee. I've told this before but I thought I could either be Prince Andrew's illegitimate daughter or Anastatia.

Tommyrot is me, except for the deciding it's probably not true part.
I also used to think that everyone in the world was telephatic except for me, and that you are all right now listening to my thoughts and making fun of me because I can't hear yours.
