I Want to Interview You for My Book
Have you ever:
Been referred to by your mother’s name by a smug significant other?
Found yourself grasping the passenger side arm rest while riding in someone else’s car, a la your mom?
Realized you’ve manifested the maternal cleaning habits you regarded, heretofore, as overzealous?
Found yourself speaking badly about other people like you chastised your mother for doing when you were younger?
Please dish. I’m writing a book about the hilarious, horrific process of becoming my mother and looking for more insight and anecdotes. Leave a comment, or e-mail me at Jennifer.litz@gmail.com. Or call 210-865-4683.
More questions:
What do you remember being your mother’s most detested trait when you were younger? Do you ever find yourself doing/mirroring this?
How else have you grown up to be like your mother in ways you might not have anticipated?
Do you think becoming like your mother has more to do with your surroundings? If you lived in different circumstances, do you think you might not react like her?
Do you empathize with your mother more than you did when you were younger? Why or why not?
How, overall, do you feel about becoming a little more like your mother in adulthood than you might have imagined as a child?
