What fruit would each member be?: 

Mary Laura: "Maybe a grapefruit. I like grapefruit a lot. It looks a lot like an orange but it's a little more complex. It's a little bitter. Also I think its name is funny. Grape-fruit. It's not a grape. A grapefruit has a sense of humor."

Sylvia: "Can I be a vegetable? A zucchini. They are versatile. You can make zucchini bread. You can have a zucchini soufflé. You can have a zucchini salad. It's just versatile. Easy to grow. Plays well with others."

Ben: "I think I would be a plantain. You think I'm a banana, but I'm a plantain, you know what I mean?"

Check out Mary Laura's latest book, Bomb Shelter, which hits shelves April 12th, 2022!

Did You Know?:

"Of all the images that were taken of me - and they tell me there are fewer than three-hundred today - there are only four where I even have the top hat on, and they were taken at the same place. It was just a different pose."
