I’m told that just after I was born, my grandmother who was watching my sister and brother at home in Minden (I was born at Schumpert Hospital in Shreveport), got a call receiving the news. She told my sister, who was thrilled. She then summons my brother in from playing. Upon finding out my gender, he muttered something about wanting a brother, expressed his utter disappointment, and returned to playing.
My first life lesson (although I was too young to know it!): You can’t please everyone!
