Lynn's Comments: When I was a little kid, I could never warm up to grown-ups who talked in baby-talk. I thought they were, well...insulting!

Lynn's Comments: "FLADDAP" is one of the words I was accused of stealing from MAD Magazine artist, Don Martin. I had no idea that I had done so. Can you "steal" a sound effect?

Lynn's Comments: When I was Gordon's age, I needed a bit of financial help but didn't have the courage to ask for it. Just one small loan, just some confidence-building support and I'd have been able to keep my small advertising business going. In this series, I wanted to do for Gordon what I wished someone had done for me.

Lynn's Comments: My husband was a do-it-your-selfer, so we always had a good supply of tools around the house. One day I found my daughter undoing all the screws she could find. The following day, I caught her trying to take the license plate off the car. It was then that I realized she was going to be a handy person, too. We just had to wait until she was old enough to figure out how to put things together as well as take them apart!
