Why knuckle snacks? What does it mean? In the words of one of my old teachers “that’s a good question, I am glad you asked”! I have never been one to take myself too seriously and don’t expect other people too either. I am completely comfortable making  jokes at my own expense. So a while back my cousin and his wife were visiting, they were staying at my grandparents. I hear my Grandma ask my cousins wife if she wants something eat, and of course I chime in with “you want a knuckle sandwich?”. Which I realized sounded odd coming from me so I followed it up with “might be more like a knuckle snack”. So she started calling me knuckle snacks, it never really caught on but when you think about it, knuckles is a really good nick name for me. I tried to get that started but there is that whole thing where you can’t give yourself a nick name. Oh well!

I  joke around about it, but even simple things like an expression that everyone uses that just doesn’t sound right when I say it is a really good example of why I wanted to start this site. Granted the people that are the closest to me have some sense of how my (and everyone else’s for that matter) differences affects daily life, but most people will never know what its like to live with major bodily differences. So this is my attempt to give the rest of the “normal” world a little insight into what it’s like to be “different”.
