My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. He says we were busy building the house and our careers and it was money well spent because it freed up our time.

I use my hands WAY too much for nail polish to last more than a day, and I vastly prefer a kind of “uniform” over having to make decisions about my clothes every single morning (that sounds exhausting!). They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD.
