Virginia grinned in amusement, "That's a nice theory, Morreti, but my mother is capable of telling anyone what I was like as a toddler... including things I'd consider personal.". She was probably referring to the common 'crime' of all proud parents who like to go back to the years when their daughters or sons were innocent and naive children and like to share their experiences with any pleasant visitor, easily forgetting that their children are actually grown up and sitting on the couch across from them.

Virginia took a light sip from her cup and tapped her fingernails on the kitchen counter top, "My mother looks a lot like me in appearance as well - similar face, brown eyes, a few inches shorter and looks about twice my age. If people think of me as a twenty-something, you might guess her to be in her forties even though she's about to turn sixty."
