Quote from Beverly in The Other Smother
Beverly: Hello, Drexel. I'm Beverly Goldberg. This is Erica. I don't want to build her up too much, but she is literally the best student that ever has been or will be. Besides having a great personality, she gets good grades, does Meals on Wheels, Model U.N., and is a volunteer swim instructor at the Y. Erica: For the love of God, stop talking! You're parading me around like a poodle, and it's embarrassing. Beverly: Honey, I'm your mother. It is my job to strong-arm people into seeing how amazing you are.
