How did I get so goofy?

My daughter is learning about NATURE VS. NURTURE in school and it got me thinking...Why am I so goofy? Was I just born this way or can I blame my parents?

I think it must be half and half. I was certainly born with a "unique" personality, and I'm sure much of my "self" was formed by my environment and upbringing.

The photo on the left is the last photo I took with my grams. I do wish I hadn't been "actin da foo" but if you look at my life I guess it was appropriate for me. ; )

I think many times I deal with the stressors of life simply by making a funny face and laughing at myself. I guess that can be a two-edged sword. My parents never really tried to change me...other than sending me to the bathroom to compose myself during dinner. Each of my children have their own very unique personalities, but I can sure tell I've raised them by their mouths!
