Legacy

I don't like interviews where kids talk about their mothers, and what an inspiration they are. "Hardest working" mom I never was. I don't have a fabulous career, no memorable skills. So if my kids were interviewed, what would they say about their mom???

I think my only claim to fame is that I never shut up. They always knew where I stood and what I thought. What a legacy, huh? I used to joke that I wanted them to go off to college hearing me in their heads. I don't know if that actually happened - I do know that they are thoughtful, kind and generous kids, and I really hope that I had some small part in that. Hmmmm. That wouldn't be such a bad legacy, I guess.
