When I was a kid I was talkative, I mean really really talkative. And I laughed so much that my nickname became Bankhead because when I laughed my shoulders moved up and down while I swayed so I looked like I was doing the Bankhead Bounce!

Sometimes I would come home from school and talk so much that my parents would look at each other and my mother would jokingly ask me if I talked at school that day or was I just saving all my words for her.

True to my nickname Bankhead I’d laugh with my shoulders moving up and down, body rocking back and forth. I’d look at her say I talked at school, but now I’m really comfortable.
