When I was a kid and the other kids were home watching "Leave it to Beaver," my father and step-mother were marching me off to the library.

I never had children, never even thought I would have children. Now I have 152 daughters; expecting 75 more next year. That is some type of gestation period.

What least makes a mother is biology.

I do miss the people in the audience and the fun: "I came with my mother! And this is my mother!" I miss that. I miss: "My cousin and I came all the way from...." I miss that. I don't miss this - who is left to interview?
