Say something nice about the black sheep of your family.

I can't say that I was the black sheep as my older and younger sister call me "The Chosen one" as in my parents eyes I could do no wrong.

I never drank, I never did drugs, but I did get in trouble with the friends that my parents did not appreciate.

I think as all 3 of us kids were pretty good kids that I was the black sheep because even after my "friends" were the druggies and the drinkers I still enjoyed being that voice of reason and try to find the good in others even if it ruined my "good guy" status.

I had been in martial arts since I was 7 and when I turned 14 I got into wrestling and that led me into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I retired from active competition in 2014 and am proud to say that my positive outlook has turned my 3 kids into honors students as well as student athletes.

Nothing makes my wife and I prouder than hearing how well behaved our kids are and that we have done an amazing job raising them.

@StevenIzzi Yea I recall my mother reminding me how parents compete with their children when all I wanted was to be seen heard and understood. So of course I rebelled.

I was the black sheep, a rock&roll kid and nothing but trouble. Then my sister turned into an obese cigarette-smoking born-again Christian who has been married 4 times and my brother became a meth-addled biker who couldn't stay out of jail and prison. And I became the good kid!

@hunkalove Yeah unfortunately my family is also dysfunctional. My older sister died young, I nearly followed her just a couple of years ago. My little brother turned out somewhat alright to the rest of us.
