This is the Moth Radio Hour, and I'm Katherine Burns.
In this week's hour, we're hearing stories about family dynamics.
It can be tricky to understand our place and roles in our own families.
I personally come from a classic blended family.
The first weekend after their wedding,
my stepdaddy Wayne and my mama left 12-year-old me and my siblings with my new step-grandparents,
Mama and Pa Harold, who lived on a farm in rural Alabama.
My 14,000-person hometown was a metropolis by comparison.
Everything was unfamiliar.
The first night,
Pa Harold asked if I'd like to go down the hill and pick out a watermelon to cut up for dessert.
I was excited to have a way to pitch in.
