Your Mother Thinks Very Highly of You

I was meeting with a company's president, and he tells me that he needs a part-time person. Little does he know, I market my daughters any time I can - baby-sitting, pet-sitting, passover-serving, calligraphy-writing. So I say to him, I have the perfect person for you, my daughter, Jocelyn. But he says, "No high school student could do this job." I ask him to at least interview her. You know, good expereince for her.  Haha. Funny because I know that when he meets her, he will be blown away. I am that confident in her.

So, he meets with her. and at some point in the interview he says to  her, "You know, your mother thinks very highly of you." And she says, (at the age of 17, in front of the president of the company,) "Yes, I know she does."

Over the years, I have built them up to know their best qualities and to be confident and un-abashed.

He hired her and asked me if she could just skip college and come work for him full-time.  You can only inmagine my response. 

But it was diplomatic.
