“Remarks My Immigrant Mother Has Made About Babies” by Kristen Iskandrian was a wonderful addition to our July issue. She answers all our questions in 30 words or less.

1. What remarks would your mother have made about me as a baby?

Don’t be so vain.

2. What are the benefits and drawbacks in looking like Winston Churchill?

No benefits, no drawbacks. Only pinstripes, cigar, peace sign, furrowed brow

3. What is the scariest picture of you? What are you doing in it?
I think it’s from 9th grade. I’m in borrowed pajamas and doing some kind of Dougie predecessor and hadn’t yet learned what my hair was.

4. When your children have children, will you react the same as the mother in this story?
I sort of hope so.

5. How often do you blend fact and fiction?
I regularly don’t know the difference.

6. Should we be nervous?
Always.
