My relationship with my mom is so amazing. We never got to have that stage that people go through, like when you're 13 and you think you're too cool for your parents.

Growing up in the fifties and sixties, I can only remember knowing one child, ever, whose parents got a divorce, and hardly any whose mother 'worked' at anything besides raising her children. Joyce Maynard
James Worthy quote: "I played basketball to try to get my parents from working so..."
I played basketball to try to get my parents from working so hard. James Worthy
