Why I Am This Way
Last night my dearest critique partner (aka husband) was wandering about the web while waiting for me to hand him the laptop. He came upon this post and after I changed my clothes and used the urine remover on the couch, we had a somber moment reflecting on the differences between the genders and families and such things as hormonal and mental unbalances.

But I got to thinking of a snippet of a conversation nearly 7 years old. And once my mind got on that track, it has stayed there a bit. So, please indulge me as I do a bit of pondering on the subject of “Deserving a Daughter.”
