11. My crazy grandma was more of a biter, claw the face, and kick for the groin sort.

I learned a lot from her bad example.

My mom learned that the physical violence part was bad but she's always had trouble with the cutting words. Don't be in the same car with her during an ordinary traffic stop. She does not "respect" certain authorities.

I learned to be amiable. The cops mostly took me home, not to the Police Station or Emergency Room.



Sigh. I'm only a quarter the hellcat my grandma was. The rest of me is friendly feral dog. Sitting in the animal shelter I'm easily bought.
