My mom, Cheryl, never wanted to be in the public eye. She just happened to love a man who is. My mom met my dad, Ron, when they were 16. And by that point she had flown solo in an airplane, joined an all-boys gun club, gotten in tons of fist fights and helped her single dad raise her younger sisters. This is to say, my mom was a passionate, busy young person who initially ignored the attention of the famous boy in her high school. It was the early 70s. And my dad was known for playing Opie in the Andy Griffith Show. And he'd soon film a pilot for a new show called Happy Days. Much of this was lost on my mom.
我妈妈谢莉尔从不想引人注目。她只是碰巧爱上了一位公众人物。我妈妈遇到我爸朗时，他们16岁。在那之前，她独自一个人乘坐飞机，加入了全是男孩的枪俱乐部，参与了无数次打架斗殴，并帮助单亲父亲养育自己的妹妹。也就是说，我妈妈当时是一个易怒、忙碌的年轻人，最初，虽然受到高中一个出名男孩的关注，但她并未理睬。20世纪70年代早期，我爸因为在《安迪·格里菲斯秀》中扮演奥佩而出名。不久，他就在新节目《欢乐时光》中扮演飞行员。这其中的许多节目我妈妈都没有看过。

But it wasn't until I was given a movie script at preschool as a way to get it to my dad...that my mom realized his visibility was extending to the entire family, and that she would need to prepare us for something she herself had never experienced. Growing up in the public eye. And this entailed some extreme parenting tactics. First. No coddling, like ever. As a kid, I was terrified of snakes. So my mom got me a pet snake.
但是，直到我在上小学前拿到了电影剧本，进入我爸爸的圈子时……我妈妈才意识到，爸爸的名气已经影响到整个家庭，她需要为我们做好准备，去应对她自己从未经历的事情。在公众眼中长大。这需要一些极端的养育方法。首先，从不溺爱，从来没有。作为孩子，我很怕蛇。于是，妈妈给我弄了条宠物蛇。
