I mean, you know, she was 13 and then 14. We obviously disagreed about things. I mean, before things really took an extremely dark turn and she was still trying to go to school, one day she emerged from her room and told me very proudly that, that instead of doing any schoolwork at all, she had watched every single Marvel movie back to back to back to catch herself up on the entire Marvel series.

And I should feel extremely proud that she had reached this accomplishment. And I was a little nonplussed, you know. She was very annoyed that I didn't see this as the remarkable achievement of, you know, she'd barely slept. She'd read none of her assignments. And all she had done was catch herself up entirely and knew absolutely everything now about Marvel there was to know.

She had this ability to do this. You know, she did this, I used to say she had a Talmudic relationship with Harry Potter, right? where she really started to read it against the grain and started to be very angry with Dumbledore for knowing all along that Harry would face the things he faced.

It's interesting, and she talked about this in her own bat mitzvah, that she struggled with Dumbledore as a savior character in the same way that she struggled with the idea of God, because in her hospital room, no deity showed up. And, you know, I think we all would argue, but I would try to make up with her immediately. I wouldn't go to bed angry. I would apologize faster than probably I should.

It was really challenged parenting, and it still does, because I didn't know how to discipline in this space properly. When all the rules seem to have been thrown out the window. I didn't know how to put limits on things. How do you put limits on phone use when you have so little outside interaction?

How do you say you have to really focus on algebra when you don't know actually if any of it will matter? It's really difficult. And I once said to her, well, isn't it good that we have so much time together? We really get to bond. And she said, this is the time I'm supposed to be breaking away from you. Yeah.

She was hilarious and cynical and tenacious and would often really try to push the boundaries of permissibility when she could. You know, we had one perfect week and weekend right before her brain tumor was We went to New York. We were all extras on Fleischman is in Trouble. Oh, seriously? Yes. How did you do that? I wrote to Taffy Ackner and I said, this is Orly's dream to be an actor.

And she's just gone through this third lung surgery, you know, one of many, many, many surgeries she's had. What do you think would you do? Could she be an extra? And she said, how about all four of you? And I ended up nine hours on a television set in a bathing suit, which was not what I had planned. You both worked at the Times, so you probably had some kind of connection. I did. Yes, I did.
