Incident #1
When I was born I was overdue - apparently I was expected in April but I didn't turn up until the end of May. I have kept up this habit of lateness and now everyone copies my fashionable tardiness.

Anyway, when I finally made my grand entry I was covered from head to toe in long fine dark hairs in the manner of a small monkey. I also had a shock of long spiky black hair upon my head. In short I looked like this.

When my mother and I were taken home - in an ambulance apparently, not in a car driven by my father - the ambulance driver was entirely bald, bald as a coot, although why they say that when clearly coots are covered in feathers, I don't know.
The ambulance driver was by all accounts horrified at the sight of a small hairy baby which had more hair than he did.

And everyone laughed.

Even me.

Apparently.
