“Her whole life was a string of perfect, fall-in-line, type-A decisions. She was prom queen, best smile, most likely to succeed. And then, she got pregnant with me.”
That’s how Samm Burnham Davidson opens her latest piece, about her relationship with her mom, who got pregnant when she was 18. No doubt it was tough at times, but it turns out that they’re super, super close as a result: “She is my first choice for any girls-night-out activity. She is fun, interesting, and full of energy. She wears Hokas, rides the Peloton, and loves reality TV. We speak the same sarcastic, short-versed language, have the same humor, and understand the same references.” Read her on their ups and downs, and what she wants for her relationship with her own kids.
