This whole thing has got a little crazy! I wish they would have posted the video. I thought they did a great job.

She's a pretty down to earth kid. You can certainly say you knew her when...

Thanks everyone! I really liked the Inside Edition piece. They did a great job editing it. It's kind of funny because we were in LAX coming back from the Ellen Show and people were coming up to her and asking for her autograph. Then we were in a skateboard shop and people recognized her. She thinks the whole autograph thing is kind of funny. She gets all giggly when people approach her. LOL

I actually have kind of a funny story about the skateboard shop on Venice Beach in LA. Willow wanted to bring her longboard/skateboard out to LA and I didn't want her to bring it. So, we were out at Venice Beach and she was browsing in a skateboard shop. The guys there recognized her from Ellen and started giving her free tshirts, hoodies, shorts, etc. I bought a thing or two and then we left the shop. A few days later she's getting ready to go on CNN and she puts on one of the Tshirts she got a the skate shop. The shirt was purple with a large tree on it. The tree is the logo of Arbor skateboards. If you aren't into skating you would have just thought she was wearing a shirt with a tree on it. So, she gets done with the interview and says to me, "I gotta call Arbor skate shop up." I said, "Why is that?" Then she says, "Remember when we were in there a few days ago?" "I say, yes." Then she proceeds to tell me that she cut a deal with them that if she wore their logo tshirt on a National TV interview that they would ship her a new skateboard. Oh, goodness. Always thinking...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my father in law. He's still in critical but stable condition in Lee Memorials ICU. He seemed to be doing slightly better today.

Great story; Willow definitely thinks on her feet well!

So sorry to hear about your father-in-law. As an avid motorcyclist myself, it's of utmost importance that you wear your gear all the time. Your daughters insistence on the helmet saved his life! Funny how things happen in life...

Willow just signed a 10 months contract with Intuitive Entertainment. They do Millionaire Matchmaker, Pit Boss and several others. We'll see how things go on that front.

She's still doing interviews here and there. Tomorrow she's doing an interview with USA Today and on Saturday she has one with WOR Radio.

I've cut the interviews way down so she can spend time with her grandfather in the hospital and get some school work done.

Smart Idea SFG. Education is important also. She is similar to a star pro athletes in that the window is limited for most. Make hay while the sunshines but remember there is life after the curtain comes down on these interviews & shows.

Wishing you & your family only the BEST !

I don't, I hope he gets the fatest contract in all of baseball so Shannon's family can sue the begeezus out of this entitled moron!

So sorry about your father in law but congrats on Willow's contract. She's a sharp kid and will do just fine!

And I don't care what all these other naysayers think, when I was fourteen I was spending all my money on designer clothes and not thinking about the future. I'm pretty sure I was in the majority.

Hey SFG, add me to the list of Willow admirers Can't believe I didn't hop on this thread sooner! I've been laying low recently....

I think it's an amazing opportunity she's taken. Congrats to both of you cause I'm sure you're a proud mommy. It's never too early to teach fiscal responsibility & entrepreneurism to your kids.

Heck, my son was selling glow sticks on the beach at 6 & this year he's investing in the stock market I think he has about $1200 saved now. Maybe in a few years he can partner with Willow
