Fact #3,409

When I was a little girl, one of my father's names for me was Veruca, after Veruca Salt, the spoiled brat from the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. When I would whine and beg him for something he would calmly say, "Yes Veruca," or "No Veruca."

It drove me nuts!

There have only been two men in my life who have really understood me. My father was one of them.
