    2) I was born in the second largest state (TX), and I now live/work in the second smallest state (DE).

    1. I always have to put my left shoe on first. If I take off my left shoe to adjust my sock or something, I immediately have to take off my right shoe before I can put my left shoe back on.

    2. I am outgoing and friendly. I smile all the time. I am the life of the party. I joke. I kid. But, secretly, I am a very unhappy person. I cry in the shower so nobody knows. My oldest son has the same personality traits and it scares me that he will live a miserable life like mine.

    4. I dated two boys in high school who eventually came out of the closet and are now openly gay.

    Jennifer (me), Jessica, Janeen and Jaclyn
