Sometimes I'll Say, "i Wrote That Book," And The Person Will Look At You As If You're Really Strange. One Time That Happened To My Daughter On A Plane. She Was Sitting Next To A Girl Who Was Reading One Of My Books And My Daughter Said, "my Mother Wrote That Book." And The Girl Started To Quiz My Daughter, Asking Her All Sorts Of Questions, Like What Are The Names Of Judy's Children And Where Did She Grow Up. My Daughter Thought It Was So Funny.
