1. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
I wish my parents talked to me about their lives more. Even a "What I did today" recap at dinner or something like that would work for me. I don't really know what my dad did for a living, other than was some kind of engineer for IBM and was subcontracted out to work for NASA on a variety of projects.
And I'd love to know how my mother managed to raise all 7 of us without going insane, with little help from my father.
2. Have you ever displayed in your home a hated, ugly, and useless gift, just because the donor happened to be paying you a visit?
Nope. I guess my friends all have taste. :)
3. If you were writing a new children's book, what might you choose for the setting, and who might the main character be?
I don't know, I'm not a children's writer. But probably a young girl, in a fantasy setting.
