    Fwiw, your little friends may have experienced it differently from how you felt about it.

    My kids grew up sharing a room in a small, not-fancy apartment. They had a friend who lived in a BelAir mansion. That friend spent the night, and as she went back to her mom she exclaimed, “Mommy, the Mouselemming family lives in a HOTEL! Just like Eloise! With an elevator!”

    I had a mom who made everything from scratch, and my friends would love to come over and have bread hot from the oven, with butter and homemade strawberry jam. But at school I wished my PBJs would be on squashy paper-white bread with grape jelly and Jif, like theirs.
