Question Mark. Cross Stitch Pattern by andwabisabi
I’m a sucker for trivia. I have early memories of Trivial Pursuit contests at family holiday gatherings. I was on my high school’s very first Quiz Bowl team and I love playing the quiz games at Buffalo Wild Wings in Aggieville.
Trivial facts are a fun way to paint small, quirky, and interesting details in a picture about a person. They reveal telling (and sometimes prophetic) facts about a person that would otherwise go unnoticed. Do I have quirky nuggets to share? Oh yeah, I do!
• I played the French Horn for 15 years. A very bad bicycle wreck I had about 8 weeks prior to starting instrumental music left me with three front teeth all chipped up, making woodwind instruments were out of the question. I later had a small college scholarship playing the horn and enjoyed many travel opportunities performing with that instrument.
• Speaking of teeth, most adults have eight front teeth – four lower and four upper. I was born with four upper teeth and only two lower front teeth. I never knew this until a dentist told me in my early twenties.
• I met my husband on Yahoo! Personals. I contacted him first, but it took him an entire month to get back to me. It turns out that he wanted to meet me right away, but because he’s a gentleman and was in contact with another lady, he waited. We then married less than two years later.
• In high school I drove a beat up 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. It broke down on my 16 times in 13 months. I now drive a Honda Civic with nearly 175,000 miles on it. It hasn’t broken down on me yet.
• At 5-foot-5, I’m the tallest woman in my family. At a size 9, I also have the biggest feet. The good thing is that no one but me can realy wear my clothes.

I love little tidbits like this!
Speaking of teeth, I’ve never needed braces – my teeth came in incredibly straight – but I do have one tooth that came in completely turned around. It’s on the side, so no one but dentists notice it, but it makes chewing difficult.
And we’ve had several Bugs in my family – my dad’s a little bit obsessed with VWs.
You didn’t need braces? Holy cow! (I’m jealous. I still need them)
After the final breakdown, that VW sat around for about ten years until my mom sold it to a co-worker who had converted it to a dune buggy!
