[ Another Mom story I didn’t publish back in 2019. ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was helping Mom get on her MyChart account to check for a doctor’s appointment. She’d forgotten her password so we going through the security question rigmarole. “Ok,” I said, “it’s asking for your favorite person from history.” [1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom answered, without hesitating, “Eleanor Roosevelt.” I typed that in and we went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I was thinking, “Eleanor Roosevelt? Really?” I tried remember what I knew about Eleanor Roosevelt that would make someone use them as the answer to their security question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realized I knew next to nothing about Eleanor Roosevelt. Was she Franklin’s distant cousin? [2]<\/a> <\/a>That was the best I could come up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started reading about Eleanor [4]<\/a> , how she used her position as First Lady to speak up for African-American rights, for the unemployed, for women’s rights, for the United Nations. She was the first to use her position as First Lady to champion causes like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Mom would’ve been a teenager during those days. What a role model to have at that age. I can see why you’d use her as a reminder, 70 years gone by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>1. “Favorite person from history?” I want to slap you dummies at Epic Systems (Epic is the software company that is the MyChart app) upside the head.<\/p>\n

<\/a>2. They were 5th cousins, once removed. [3]<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>3. Fun fact, Teddy Roosevelt and I are 7th cousins! (twice removed) And since Eleanor was Teddy’s niece that makes her my mom’s 8th cousin.<\/p>\n

<\/a>4. Always the teacher, Mom, by a casual reference, got me to read up on a topic I would have never looked up otherwise.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
