I grew up with an extremely funny dad, and my mom is super funny.
I can't fall apart every time I mention that my mother's gone. I actually laugh about stories or things or situations. Of course there's a wound that will never be patched up, but I approach it with humor. Of course, I don't overlook it and go straight for the humor, but I think we have to have humor to move forward.
I love engaging in conversation with other moms because we can relate to one another, and we swap valuable insight and information.
Both of my kids have my sense of humor - they're definitely entertaining.
My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.
My daughter doesn't even get my humor. She's like, 'Um, no. I don't get it, Dad. Mmm, no, not that one, Dad.'
Naturally, people are curious about how my real mom feels about me having a TV mom.
One thing my family has shown me is that having a sense of humor is everything.
