One interesting fact about yourself:  I eat at least one avocado every day

If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who

would it be and why?

I would have dinner with my Papaw because he was extremely wise, and I have a lot of questions for him that I wish I had thought of when he was alive.

It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day?

I would watch “Friends” on Netflix and crochet!

What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child

while working for SMS?

One little girl told me that she thought I was 15 years old, and then proceeded to ask me about my husband, how many kids I have, and why they didn’t come over to play. (I am not married and don’t have any kids, but she was convinced that I actually did)

When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be?

I wanted to be a teacher

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three

items, what would they be?

Yarn, crochet needles, and sunscreen

What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

I always wanted my babysitter to braid my hair in lots of different braids, and then my little brother and I would try to braid her hair after she braided mine.

What has been your most memorable experience while

working with SMS?

When a little boy told me that I was the best babysitter ever because I knew how to fix his electric train tracks—really it was pure luck, but it made me happy anyway!
