So there's like a 30 year gap between American women getting the right to vote and Mexican women getting the right to vote.

That's really late.

So in a weird way, TV really allowed me to learn things that my mom couldn't.

When I was in fourth grade, I realized I was poor because I was a really big fan of New Kids on the Block.

Loved them, right?

I couldn't afford to see them in concert, right?

So I had this fantasy when I was a kid, you know, that I was going to meet them and they were going to fall in love with me, right?

No joke, you guys.

This was the fantasy.

Fourth grade.

I was going to be the maid on their tour bus.

And I was going to clean things so good that they were going to fall in love with me.

Like, in my head, I thought they were going to get on the tour bus and they were going to be like, oh my god, who made that bed right there?

You know what I mean?

Oh my god.

This tour bus is so clean.

Who made that bed right there?

Who made that bed right there?

Who made that bed right there?

You know?
