It's probably a mixture of Baby and being an old married lady - I got married 3 days after I turned 20. I mostly want to give them a chance to say what they have to say - they can write about whatever they want, as long as they mean it. It's also a way for me to show them writing is about more than essays and schoolwork. The librarians tell kids about it. If they're interested, they tell Maura, and then she gets them all together on the day. We'll be doing a science workshop soon, too - bottle rockets and diet coke and mentos in the library's backyard. Accent - lol! I've never liked my voice, and I've never felt sophisticated, either! @Amitha - pregnancy and Baby make me feel old, too. I think there's a big window, between 25 and 35, where it's hard to tell age. I do remember thinking my parents were old, though. @Livia, again - ignore the pressure! Wait 'til you've been married for a while. We waited 7 years; I can't imagine having had Baby any earlier.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('86','Peta'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('86','Peta','<a href=\'#comment-82\' rel=\"nofollow\">@Livia<\/a> - Yep, 28.

Sounds like you had fun! I'm really surprised to find out that you aren't rich. I thought all writers immediately made a ton of money whenever they got anything published? :) BTW I think it's "Sonny With a Chance" not "Sonny and Chance". But apparently even they didn't know what it was called :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('79','Amitha'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('79','Amitha','I forgot to ask you how it went!!
