Time out
How do you practice self-care? When the kid was born, I was over the moon. Excited was an understatement and exhausted was the highlight. But I coped.

Total recall
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I’m an elephant- in the crazy kind of things, I seem to remember from when I was a kid.
