she smiles as she washes her hands yeah I got that from my mom she was a performer back in her day
laughs nervously Haha, well, you definitely inherited the showmanship gene from her. So, um, what kind of stuff did she used to do?
She used to sing and dance and act. You could say I got the drama gene from her.
Oh, wow! That's amazing! I bet she must have been incredible at it. Did she ever perform anywhere? Like, was she famous or anything?
