Olympic-Level Matchmaking
Usually the best part of the Olympics is pretending to be an expert in some obscure sport like curling. But this year, there was a new sport that I couldn't get enough of ... the sport of matchmaking. It started innocently enough, as Sally Field's son Sam tweeted a conversation between him and his mom, where she told him to "go for it" with his Olympic crush (whom he did not name in the tweet). This could have been the end of it, but Sally played the ultimate wingwoman, and not only retweeted, but tagged, her son's crush: Olympic breakout star Adam Rippon. Luckily for Sam, Rippon has a great sense of humor and reached out to meet Sally and Sam. Really it was just nice to see that celebrity moms embarrass their kids just as much as regular moms.
