re: #2 Learned Mother of Zion
My super-liberal, ultra-rich, hippest, trendiest person in the whole wide world aunt gave me a copy of “Sex and the Single Girl” WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OLD.
My mom let me keep it (this aunt totally intimidated her).
I later found out that this aunt, after divorcing my uncle, retired to her San Mateo mansion with her collection of stray cats.
Everyone needs an Auntie Mame.
