<p>I wanted to write a short, funny story about growing up with my mom and how it shaped my personality, but I don’t know if that’s too risky. I’m not a cliche person, so I don’t want to do the whole, “I grew up in a single family home. I taught me to respect my mom as if she was my mom and dad,” blah, blah, blah, but will one story not give enough insight?? Opinions please!! Thanks!</p>
