I did a lot of musicals growing up.

Growing up in Boston and dancing in the streets, you see a lot of things.

We didn't go to Broadway musicals when I was growing up; it was too expensive.

There is a lot of learning I have to do and a lot of growing up I have to do.

This memory was both happy and sad: happy because it was so pleasant, and sad because it made Penelope think about how much she missed Swanburne--the girls, the teachers, Miss Mortimer. Or perhaps it was her own much younger self, that pint-sized person whom she could never be again, whom she missed. It was hard to say.

Growing up, my parents were my heroes, in the way they conducted their lives.
