Marylin's Parents

As I am reading The Kinds of Friends We Used to Be I am noticing all the things Marylin, one of the main characters doesn't know about her parents. First when Marylin was trying to make up and find something for a Halloween costume, Dad had came in and was telling her how he knows how to sew and knit from when he was in theater as a teen and decided to help her. Marylin also found out something new about her mom. When Marylin was listening to music and writing poetry one night Mom had came in and was listening as well, when the song was over Mom knew the singer and said that she had growing up listening to the artists Marylin had liked to listen to as well.
