Life Quote by Megan Jean Sovern
““I sulked into the living room and sat on the couch with my back turned away from the enemies who said they were my parents. I mean how could I know for sure if they were my real parents? I didn't have any concrete proof they weren't Russian spies. So what if they couldn't speak Russian. Maybe they were THAT good.””

![“Sometimes I wonder if I'm nothing more than the sum of who [my parents] were. Even worse, I worry that I don't add up nearly so well, that I'm just a shadowed reflection of them. Now that question hounds me a lot more often than I like to admit.” quote by Cooper Davis](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/868/cooper-davis-229168_children_sometimes-i-wonder-if-i-m-nothing-more-t_1401116.jpg)
