What are you like rst thing in the morning?

I’ve become a morning person because my children wake anywhere between thing and we play, and it’s become my favourite part of the day.

What is your worst habit?

Sometimes, I pull off my small toenails. It doesn’t hurt because they’re so soft, but I have to wait for them to grow back so I can wear sandals.

What makes you happy?

My kids bring me this existential joy because they are so delicious and happy. Also, I’m lucky to be in the job that I love.

What is your biggest fear in life?

Growing up, I was afraid of ghosts, aliens and sharks. Now, all I care about is that my children are safe and well. I don’t like a long time, but now I have a husband and a toddler son, I can see that men are quite soft and easy to figure out.
