Me and My Many Words

If you know me at all, you'll know that I can't stop talking. And when I talk, I talk in long, lengthy sentences. I simply have to explain every single thing to every single person - the full thought behind the concept has to be conveyed to the people around me all the time. Be it technology, physics, biology or the working of human minds - I always explain everything, and then I go overboard. This verbosity comes from my mother. Her explanations for situations and incidents run like epic films from the '30s or '40s. But the underlying theme is - ensure that everyone who is listening to you got every little detail that matters. Somehow, this has filtered into me. It makes me good (I think so!) at explaining concepts from the Bible, from my college textbooks, to take training sessions, to handle sessions with school kids... Basically, me and my many words come from my Mum. Many have made fun of me for these many words - but me, I'm proud of them. These words make me me. Thanks, Mum.
