I'm not sure how, but all these posts about your mother explain many things.

Do you mean it explains how I turned out so elegant and stoic, because yes

In all seriousness, my mum definitely influenced me hugely. She opted my twin sister and me out of wearing school uniform (we were 2 out of 3 kids in the entire school who wore our own clothes) because she wanted us to form our own individual identities. She bought me a toy building set and a trunk full of plastic dinosaurs when I decided that I would be an archaeologist at 5 years old. She refused my school’s decision to move me up a year because she thought it was more important that I learnt to socialise with my peers, and I thrived academically because I was more competent socially. She threw a birthday party for my favourite doll, complete with a cake, in the carpark of my favourite museum (a gnome museum) because I was so excited for my own birthday but it wasn’t for 2 months. She let me quit ballet when I was 14 and I stopped loving it; I regret quitting now, but she let me make that decision for myself. She refused to let people buy my twin and I joint birthday presents or cards, and insisted that we were recognised as individuals rather than two halves of a whole. She argued with strangers who harassed her in public and one of my earlier memories is going to the police station with her after a man slapped her at a car boot sale because he called her a bitch and she retaliated.

And she sometimes carries our cat around the house, crooning ‘who’s a little titty head? You are!’ into his ear, and she takes photos of every sausage she eats and puts it on Facebook with the caption ‘a nice big one’, and I am glad and genuinely so grateful that she’s the weirdo who raised me.
