What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I closely identify with both of my brothers.

What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?One of the funniest things to happen to me was when I was on a trip to New York as a child. We stayed at this fancy hotel where they would put chocolates on the pillows. I loved them so I went and asked one of the workers for more chocolates. A while later the worker showed up with a $40 brownie and my dad was freaking out saying he didn't order it. Laughing the worker said "It's for my little buddy" referring to me and we got to enjoy it for free! Although I think my brothers ate most of it, it's definitely funny to think about.
