Publically, she's still mad at me. [but she's never afraid to
express her displeasure at someone] but the founder of T aking
Chi ldren Seriou sly does acknowledge my help in a veiled
fashion, and her irritation with Deu sch. This is before he was
"big news" and wrote his amazing books.
Although, as nice as her version of Unsch ooling is, she visited
me from England back then, with her two girls. They demanded
ketchup on their cereal, which confused my mother (I was like 20
at the time), and she hit on me, when I was only interested in
her intellectually.
My mother referred to her kids as spoiled brats but that's
because she left them downstairs. Oh well. this was '92 and
anytime somebody visited your house from "The Internet" they
wanted se* x. I left her disappointed because I wasn't
interested. She was pretty but her kids were running around
downstairs - kinda left a bad taste for me about all her
high-philosophy words but so be it.
But, she can talk a mean intellectual game, and she's inspired
thousands of parents. Still, the way she writes is very academic
and way over my head.
I know this is only barely related but heck, the nut got cracked
open on a few stories and this is one I never told.
