“I remember in high school her saying, ‘Now what’d you want to take that science class for? There’s no girls in that science class. You take home ec, why don’t you? That’s the way to meet the nice boys.’ ‘Mom,’ I said, There ain’t no boys in home ec. The boys are in the science class.’ She hated when I said, ‘Ain’t.’”
