There is a kind of villain archetype in children's fiction: the evil one who hates imagination and probably also bright colors and laughter.

My mom is nothing like that. Although she does like mathematics, and space documentaries better than any novel. When I still made her read all the stories I'd write she's always sigh and say "I don't understand why you can't write about something that's real?"

And I'd try to explain that all the stories were as good as real to me and get nowhere. 2/
