This impression is spot on, as everyone knows that Penny Marshall keeps two cups of coffee on hand at all times. “Penny, do you want a cup of coffee?†asks a person. To which Penny responds, “No, I already have my two cups. Let me finish a cup, then yes.†What I’m trying to say is that’s an abnormal amount of cups of coffee to keep on one desk at a time. Maybe it’s all explained in Penny Marshall’s new memoir, My Mother Was Nuts. (Why was someone named “Nuts?†Or how did a bunch of mixed nuts get together to parent a child? Answers to both questions are in the book.)
