"I'm the second oldest of fourteen children, and the first set of twins. You want to hear a fun story? I was born on a bus, as was my brother. He came first, and then I did, and I was born totally blue. So my mother asked the bus driver to stop the bus so she could get off at a house. But I ended up just fine! They called me a 'blue baby.' And I'm still traveling now!
"I was 11 the first time one of my younger brothers called me Mom. At the time, it was terrible, because it meant he mistook me for our own mother. But it warms my heart now, because even though they live in Germany and I live here, my younger siblings still send me Mother's Day cards every year. I don't have any children, but I still get the cards on Mother's Day."
