My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.
I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.
As I've gotten older, my mannerisms are more and more like my mom's. Also, she was an educator - she's extremely passionate about education and children. I guess I inherited that in some way.
I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.
I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy.
[My mom] had always wanted to write a children's book. She was a children's librarian and an elementary school teacher, so of course she loves children and children's literature.
