What is a fun fact about you that not many people know?

Growing up can have its moments and when my mother wasn’t happy about my decision with a friend, she would ask me: “If your friend jumps out of an airplane are you going to jump, too?” For my 40th birthday a friend and I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane for my first and last sky diving experience. I was able to tell my mother that I did in indeed follow my friend and jumped out of an airplane. She didn’t find any humor in the childhood reference.
