Things I Learned From My Mom
• How to drive a stick shift (on a 1973 VW bug)
• That you can buy four times as many clothes at the thrift store.
• That chocolate is kind of the best thing ever
• How to read
• That being a non-conformist is hard but worth it (I was a total weirdo but she was right - it was completely worth it)
• That sometimes life ISN'T fair but sometimes that's part of life
• That a home-made Halloween costume is the best
• A DIY attitude towards everything
• That being tan isn't worth the wrinkles and cancer that follow later in life
• That David Bowie is totally hot (we watched a lot of Labrynth)
