I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Matt Taylor form Liz Borino’s Taylor Twin Series.
Here is a look at what Matt & I talked about.
Kelly : HI Matt!!!
Matt Hi Kelly! How are you on this glorious day?
Kelly : I am good now that I am talking to you.. How are you doing?
Matt: I’m mostly well, thank you. It’s a beautiful Saturday in July and my baby is down for her nap after spending the afternoon at my brother’s
What more can I ask for?
Kelly: How is being a daddy?
Matt: Oh, I love it. She’s incredible. I’m even to the point that I don’t miss the sleep.
Alright, that’s a lie, but it is worth it.
Kelly: hehehe… Yes, lack of sleep goes hand and hand with a baby.
Matt: I’ve heard that. Not everyone is as lucky as my twin, Chris. Do you know his daughter sleeps until 9AM most days?
I haven’t slept that late since college.
Kelly : That is amazing!! Truly.
Did you ever think that you and Chris would be having kids at the same time?
Matt: Actually, I never really thought I’d have them.
Kelly : Are you worried about being a good daddy?
Matt: Every day of my life, but I can’t seem to find the manual and Dorothea is still alive.
And she’s generally very happy.
Kelly : I am sure she is a great kid-o I would love to meet her when she wakes up.
Matt: Sure.
Carley is gone…somewhere
Kelly : Speaking of Carley. How are things going with you two?
Matt: Oh well there’s my headache. I thought I’d get through an entire conversation without it.
I’m sorry.
Kelly : *raises eyebrow* I thought you had told everyone your headaches where better. Can I get you anything?
Matt: I really am trying and I guess life is hard on her.
No, thank you. I’ll take some more Immitrex. Maybe the fourth dose will have an effect.
I tell people they’re better because life tends to be easier that way.
Kelly: 4 doses… Matt is that safe?
Matt: Hey, weren’t we talking about Carley?
Kelly: Way to avoid the topic Matt.. Okay back to Carley. How has she been since having Dorothea?
Matt: You know how she was before Dorothea was born?
Kelly: Yeah
Matt: Worse, And now, get this, she’s friends with Sarah.
Kelly: OH, well… ummm I am sorry… *leans in to give Matt a hug*
Matt: *hugs back* I’m fine. I have to keep it together for Dorothea.
Kelly: looks around So is she not happy cause you are in here talking to me?
Matt: Carley? She thinks I have a client meeting
Kelly : Oh. Why didn’t you tell her I was interviewing you?
Matt: Because you appear to be a woman. And I don’t want to hear it from her
Kelly : Last time I looked I was. *smartass grin* and I totally understand.
Matt: Thank you for understanding.
So, business is good and so is parenthood. Can’t expect a perfect partner as well
Kelly: You should expect a perfect partner, Matt. Have you thought about having her talk to someone?
Matt: I would love that, if only so she wasn’t talking to me for an hour. I’m sorry that’s terrible. She refuses to talk to anyone professional.
Oh, aside from Sarah, who was trained by the Catholic Church. Isn’t that helpful?
Kelly: I don’t like this Sarah chick.. If Carley won’t talk to someone else I am not sure what to say.
Matt: Welcome to my world.
Kelly : I am so sorry Matt.
Matt: Thanks, I’ll be fine. Like I said, it was a great day anyway.
Kelly : It looks like our time is drawing to an end. But I have a few more questions for you.
Matt: Go ahead. You tell me how much time you need. I’ll make it work
Kelly: So I really want to know how you feel about Liz telling your story?
Matt: I like it. When she doesn’t do it properly we stop talking to her until she figures out what she did wrong.
She calls it writers block. I call it not listening properly
Kelly: hehehe… That is a great way of putting it.
Matt: Thank you for taking my side. Most women band together and pull the estrogen card.
Kelly: Oh I love to torture authors…
So, I have to ask… Who was the other lady talking to Chris when I got here?
Matt: That would be his, or more accurately, our ex girlfriend, Ally.
If any readers want to know more about that, I’ll have Liz send them the short story.
Kelly: Our? Oh wait I think I heard a little something about that story.. HEHEHE… the readers will love that..
Matt: But warn your readers it’s pretty racy.
I hope so. I missed her, but I don’t know if I can let on….I don’t think Carley will be happy.
Kelly: I am sure Carley would not.. But I do have to say Ally is very beautiful.
Matt: That she is. She always has been.
I’m looking forward to finding out what’s been going on with her the last few years.
Kelly: Well it looks like she fits in really well.
What do you say we go meet her and then you can introduce me to your daughter.
Matt: That will get me in trouble, but I’d love for you to meet Dorothea.
Thanks for the interview. You’re very talented at it.
Kelly: hehehe… Okay, let’s go meet Dot. Oh and Matt, Thank you so much for talking with me. And I promise things will get better for you. Soon
Matt: Thank you. I’ll try to believe you. Have a great day.

Walks out of the room to go meet Matt’s beautiful little girl and hope to get to chat with this Ally girl*
