I'm used to my own differences. I grew up with them. :-)

I also grew up assuming nobody was like me because, just within my immediate family, we had three different religions, really different intelligence levels, highly varying education levels, "lefties" and "righties" (referring to dominant hands here), varying political beliefs, varying physical builds, and multiple ethnicities and colorations.

I'd watch "Lawrence Welk" with Mom's parents and find it highly entertaining because I didn't know anyone who was actually like that. Dad's parents couldn't stand him. Somehow, though, I heard this was supposed to represent "middle America." I saw TV families, and they didn't look like mine.

The only thing we all had in common was we were all human beings (except for Peppy and Djinn-Djinn.... ;-) ).
