Listen to Your Mother Show Videos up on YouTube!


The Listen to Your Mother Show videos are up on YouTube!  What does this mean?  It means if you have 5 minutes you can click on one of over 140 hilarious and heartwarming readings about what it's like to mother or be mothered and be entertained and uplifted - Hooray!

I wrote a bit about my experience in the NYC production here:  Listen to Your Mother Show recap (but I'm saving the full story for the book - oh yes, there's a story behind that smile...)

I couldn't be more proud of the NYC cast, a group of 15 writers, bloggers, actors, mothers, daughters and one son.  They'll make you laugh and cry, and demand a reunion tour.  Here's the  Listen to Your Mother Show NYC production playlist

My 6-minute piece "The Cookie Jar" is one of my favorite stories about G and R.  I started telling it many years ago, hoping to turn it into a children's book.  That manuscript did not find a publisher then.  Turns out, it was waiting for this moment, in front of this audience, to take flight instead.

"This is funny!"  G said, watching the video.  "This is a good story!"  Well, of course it is, I thought.  It's about two of the funniest girls I know!
