Be Weird. Attract Weird People.
This past summer, my mother observed, “You know, our family attracts weird people.” Everyone looked around at each other and laughed, fully realizing that all of us gathered at my parents’ anniversary celebration were those “weird people” to whom my mother was referring. We debated the reason for this attractive quality: Was weirdness a hereditary trait passed down through generations? Was it because we have a big family and weirdness was the only way to be noticed? Did our family send out some type of “weird person beckoning beacon” unbeknownst to us?
