I am sorry, I really am. Members of my family have caused serious problems for people over the years. Before anyone creates trouble with nasty revelations, I thought I should make a full confession.

My uncle ran a gardening business and regularly dug up people’s plants in mistake for weeds. My grandfather used to sell clothes door-to-door, some of which didn’t fit. Just as problematic were the dolls’ houses my great-grandfather made and sold for a living. They used wood from trees grown in an unsustainable way, and were frequently overpriced.
