    Correct my math if I'm wrong, but...

    If the author's "tween" days were little over a decade ago, and her daughter is 11, i.e. a little over a decade old, does that mean she gave birth when she was a tween?

    Either the numbers are exaggerated or there's a serious and personal backstory going on here...

    Um, maybe I shouldn't have brought it up.
