I was conceived on a freighter travelling to Canada. My parents were on their honeymoon, not planning to have children right away.
Stormy voyage. My parents were thrilled as the other passengers were too sick to come up to eat so they had lots of food for the first time in over a decade.
Then there was a really really bad storm and they had to stay below deck.
They were bored.
My father said that my temperament was based on being conceived in a hurricane.
