Why You Askin' All Them Questions?

If you ask me a question, chances are that you will receive a very long answer. In fact, my husband claims that I can't answer a question without telling a story. My stories go around and around .... I might eventually get to the point. I think this is because I don't want to leave out any details. It might also be due to events in my life that are so confusing to others that it takes a while to explain. For example, there would be no way to give you my family history without going into A LOT of detail! Isn't this somewhat true for everyone's family? Well, it definitely is for mine! Don't you know that questions about family are some of the first to come when meeting new people?!?! Why is that?
