"We make them parents.

They make us people.

Crazy people."

Created by comedian & author Leighann Lord

In This Episode of People with Parents…

I have an impromptu, live interview with comedic storyteller Sue Schmidt and comedian Jane Condon. We are in the dressing room after our closing night show at the Peterborough Players Theater in New Hampshire. I got to commiserate with, Sue who has 20 years in the caregiving game, first with her father and now her mother. And Jane reminded us where the sweet spots in caregiving can be. 

Please find and follow these funny ladies!
