This earned me the nickname scooter and I was fast. In fact I was almost fast enough to keep up with my brother who is 2 years older than me. Me and him were inseparable from the start, I was a fat blond-haired blue -eyed baby with a very easy temperament and he was my opposite slow-to warm up, skinny with black hair and a real spitfire of energy. If not for my brother I may have had more trouble with this
