I was just the youngest in the family, and most in desperate need of attention.

My daughter is exceptionally chatty. I'm not a braggy mother but she is gifted - with the personality of a Russian gymnastics coach.

You can always tell when someone's lying to you, because they're male.

I've got big feet, so filling someone else's big shoes doesn't scare me.

I am conversational - I just like to engage and talk about things.

I always feel slightly sorry to be the voice of whatever I'm experiencing.

I remember I was so crabby in my third trimester - I got gestational diabetes because I'd been acting like I was in a one-woman pie-eating contest.
