I want to… but I can’t!
I don’t know if it’s ALL nature vs nurture or vice versa. But I DO know that perfectionism is genetic. Rissa got her perfectionist streak directly from her father’s side of the family… from her paternal grandmother to her father to her. From the ages of two to about seven, Rissa would melt down when…
Gilmore Girls Meltdown
“IT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!!” wails Rissa. “WE’RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT!!!” She is flailing, face-down, on the couch. “Yes we will honey.” I smooth her back. “We’ve got 77 days.” “And 95 episodes!!” How are we going to watch 95 episodes in 77 days?!?” “Easy.

I would say that is weird.” “How ’bout this?” She ducks out of view for a second and…
Cliff-hangers and 12 year olds…
“NO!!! NO!!! Where’s the remote?!? Where is the next episode? What is going to happen?!? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” (collapse, collapse, collapse…) “Oh WAILEY, WAILEY, WAILEY!“ We were watching the first (and sadly, only) season of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Around episode 19 or so they got all cliff-hangery. I’m pretty sure that’s when Rissa started…
ROTFLMAO!!
