Come on, I can see you need it.

You don't want to wet your pants again.

It's OK if you wet the bed sometimes.

Let's just make extra sure we wee before bed though. Even when you think you don't need it, just sit on the toilet and see what might come.

I was shot when I think it was number one. That was the catalyst for the interest in the show. Certainly it went on for a long time after that but that's what really kicked it off. Of course a lot of people watched it just because of the novelty of the situation.

I wanted to be a 150% entrepreneur and a 150% mom, and I found that I was having a very hard time doing both. I was about 75% and 75% - still better than 100%, but not what I was accustomed to at work.

If you've never met a Navy SEAL and you ran into one at a bar, you probably still wouldn't know he's a Navy SEAL.
