I would borrow my mom's red Borghese lipstick and smear it on like a clown!

At 3 years old, I was imitating and doing fun little commercials for the family. Then at 5, I knew, OK, this is something I really like. At 8, I was crying in front of the mirror and my mom was like, Oh boy, here we go. We know what she is going to do.

I never liked apples. In fact, when I was a little girl, my mom wanted to give me apples in my lunch box and I would ask for green peppers. So bizarre... It is funny - I do not have an apple a day, but I can say that I have a few a week.
