Because truth is often stranger than fiction, life puts us in situations that are more interesting than anything we would read in a book, or see on TV. Just like you, I too have tasted mouse droppings, bit a skunk, and been shot in the head. I'm sure that your mother has kicked in the basement windows in an attempt to burn down the house at one time or another. Do you also remember bathing in maggots and sleeping in the cemetery? I thought so. So you see, we are all involved in the most exciting reality show there is. It's called life. We all have a story worth telling.
