- When I was little, I was deathly afraid of butterflies.
- In her twenties, my mother drove a Jaguar with a sun roof, wore giant sunglasses, had a different hair style every few weeks and sat at a vanity to apply her makeup. She wore a knee length wedding dress and paid for her college education with modeling gigs and pageants. Cool, right?
