As an adult (wife & mom), I can’t remember the last time I sat on someone else’s lap! It seems like a relic of childhood, right?!?!

I do often feel like a plastic bag, and sometimes also like a paper one that got liquid of some sort spilled in the bottom of it🙃 Reading this, and seeing your pictures, made me feel a zillion times better. Thank you!!!🥰❤️

I attended last night's event with Ann Patchett, and it was a truly wonderful conversation! The mutual affection you have for one another came shining through, which was lovely to see.

Saw Ann last night in NY. Bet sitting on her lap feels like you are held in so many ways. She spoke of you too. 🤍

Wow! So fun! I’m also SO curious how much Patchett’s publisher paid Meryl Streep to do her new audiobook. That is a serious audiobook investment!

The news that your seven year old decided to stop sleeping struck fear in the heart of this mom to a 7 (and 3) year old. I hope your kiddo is back to regular sleep soon.
