Out of curiosity, did you come from a family where older generations were storytellers? E.g. parents, extended, or grandparents?
In the sense that there were stories you heard retold (sometimes by the same person) over the years, mutating a bit in each retelling?
I think some brains get wired so that oral (or at least reproductive in some medium) story transmission is effortless, but affinity does seem to differ person-by-person.

It's funny you mention this b/c "yes". Both of my parents are big storytellers.
Never realized this so thanks for pointing it out!
