Well, clearly, I'm the most beautiful of them.

Oh, wait, that's not what you meant. You wanna know who my diddy is.

I think it's so interesting that I get asked this in my day to day travels around the Island. I feel like I'm famous (even though I know that many people on the Island get asked this on a daily basis).

I actually hate my last name but it is quite an interesting one. I'd love to change it if I could. To something that no one would ever recognise. So no one would ever ask me again who the hell my father is. Or, I could always just leave and be among the anonymous. I would have no problem with this.

My family is also quite well known in the restaurant business and in the sailing world (my dad). The man behind the counter at Marine and Ports was the one who asked me while I picked up the registration for my kayak today. I'd never seen him before in my life. I just answered, "I'm EB's daughter."

Sometimes I like to embellish a little more.

"You know, EB and LB, they're the managers of (very popular seafood restaurant). That's my mom and dad."

or

"Yeah, my dad's EB. He went to the Olympics." That's my favourite one. Then I really feel like I'm famous.

On some occasions they'll reply that they went to school with one of them. Later on I might find out that my father actually dated the person back in the day.

It's too small sometimes in this place. Just too small.
