The meet and greet got twisted around that I was fangirling and was dying to meet Madonna when, in actuality, she invited me to her dressing room.

Dear Fonseca
My mother-in-law is moving in with us. I suggested she pay rent. My husband looked at me like I was crazy. We're charging our college son rent so why not my mother-in-law? He says we can't do it. We got into a shouting match. It's okay to charge our son, but not his mother. I don't agree with it. I think if our son has to pay rent so should my mother-in-law. Why should we be responsible for her? She's got tons of money. Should she pay rent or not?
