Katie was a dynamo to contend with. She would walk up to strangers (usually women or kids her own age) and start a conversation. For example at a young age she would walk up to a woman and ask her where she got her purse or her shoes. Or, she would tell a mother how cute her child was. Neither her mother or I routinely did that as we both tended to be shy, so it was not nurture, it was nature.
