JoAnn is born

She kept her eyes shut a lot, and cried, that's all I can remember about the baby JoAnn. We thought she was the most beautiful baby, with her blonde hair and big blue eyes. My dad used to call her Twinkletoes and Precious Princess.

Once, when she was still really little, we were all in bed and procrastinating as usual about going to sleep, she suddenly asked: "Ma? Do roaches pee?"

My brother and I had hysterics over this for years to come.
