"Tell me about you and daddy." "Okay. Daddy and I met in college. I thought Daddy was so cute. He wore red Cons. I went up to him and said, 'Hi, what's your name?' and he said, 'Hi, I'm John Lee,' and then I said, 'Nice to meet you, I'm Kendra.'"

"Kendra Stannnnton Lee."

"Yup."

"And was I there? Was Tatum and I at college, too?"
