She just happened to love a man who is.
My mom met my dad wrong when they were 16, and by that point, she had flown solo in an airplane, joined an all-boys gun club, gotten in tons of fistfights, and helped her single dad raise her younger sisters.
This is to say, my mom was a passionate, busy young person who initially ignored the attention of the famous boy in her high school.
It was the early 70s, and my dad was known for playing Opie in The Andy Griffith Show, and he'd soon film a pilot for a new show called Happy Days.
Much of this was lost on my mom.
The only thing she watched on TV was Star Trek.
It's true.
After they finally joined forces, after he actually proposed three times and had kids, my mom transformed into a full-on warrior woman, ready to protect.
But it wasn't until I was given a movie script at preschool as a way to get it to my dad
that my mom realized his visibility was extending to the entire family and that she would need to prepare us for something she herself had never experienced, growing up in the public eye.
And this entailed some extreme parenting tactics.
First, no coddling, like ever.
As a kid, I was terrified of snakes.
So my mom got me a pet snake.
When I blanked at my first piano recital and ran offstage crying, my mom insisted I stay and support my peers.
Years later, when my son grimaced at a chipmunk carcass our cat had left in the driveway, Cheryl made him clean up the remains.
My mom wanted to toughen us up so we'd have more courage and less fear when dealing with uncomfortable situations.
So that meant zero coddling.
Put your comfort away, she'd preach.
Any challenge that arose was an opportunity to find your sea legs.
