So hard to choose. There are a LOT of good ones. Shevaun and I hung mistletoe in our doorway during Christmas Open House in the girls’ dorm our freshman year and we kissed SO MANY guys! Then Victor showed up and I fa-reaked—obviously, this was when I thought of him only as That Guy My Sister Went Out With Four Years Ago. - What is your favorite children’s book?
In my own childhood, I loved Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Amelia Bedelia, and everything by Richard Scarry. For my own kids, the Olivia series is adorable and Captain Underpants gives me the giggles. - What are your most common nicknames?

Meh. - Where is your dream house located?
On a hill with a beautiful view of San Francisco out one side and Paris out the other. - If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you’d grab?
