In her brother David's book Me Talk Pretty One Day, he noted that she would often assume characters to play pranks on her family.
As a teenager, Sedaris' first job was at the local Winn-Dixie supermarket where she would make fake announcements over the loudspeaker, and for a while she was determined to work at the local women's prison in Raleigh.
