MY BEST CREATION

My totally awesome daughter, Randi.

She's smart, wickedly funny, and of course, beautiful!

"Years and years ago when my child was four years old, I suddenly learned ...never to ask an automatic question, so boring, so mentally lazy, so exhausting. No, I would myself tell her something interesting and arresting: “I saw Pat Greaves next door running and bawling because he was being chased by a strange yellow cat”. My child’s eyes would sparkle with interest, and there we were, in the liveliest conversation, and behold! she was soon telling me the most interesting extraordinary things, her own ideas. At our meals together I felt that it was I, not she, who must be the wit, the raconteur, the delightful one, the fascinated listener to her remarks, the laughter at her jokes. Now, the light in a child’s eyes is a splendid gauge and tells your in a split second if you are failing and becoming a bore and a schoolmarm. She has liked me ever since".
