So they basically got over there and there was no running water and no electricity when they got there. So it was very rough and they lived kind of under these circumstances. My dad taught physics and my mom taught English.

And so I never asked because it was like that elephant in the room. I just didn't want to know. But a couple of years ago, my mom said we wanted to have a baby because we had all this time together and we knew it would be a time to focus on you.
