PS: So aside from finding a great partner, what's the one piece of advice you would give to parents?
BG: I would say not to take the domineering military approach to parenting. I think having a great sense of humor has been key in our family.
WG: I think sense of humor has always been critical, and also be the way about yourself. We weren't allowed to be self-serious in our house. We sort of have this loving, mocking relationship with people who are self-serious.
BG: I think it keeps you humble. It says, "I'm just like everybody else, and I have the same faults."
WG: Just make life fun. You have expectations of them doing their homework, being respectful to people, having manners, and all that stuff, but we try to make life fun. If you have two parents who kind of see it that way, then hopefully their kids will have a happy childhood.
