"The mother of one of Willow's dear friends on the basketball team was a lobbyist, and I had a rule that my staff and I would not hang with lobbyists. I told Willow, 'Sorry, honey, you'll have to find another ride. You may never even take a Gatorade from the family.' You haven't seen teenage eye rolling until you're seen Willow roll her eyes."
