When I think of my childhood, I can't resist thinking of good ole Navin Johnson. You know, he's Steve Martin's quirky character in the 1979 movie, The Jerk. Navin grew up as the only white kid in a black family from Mississippi and was obnoxiously delusional about his upbringings. And despite loving his adoptive family more than anything else, he had a whole world to see. My mom hated that movie. But oddly, there's something I can still relate to.
