The Lighter Side

In getting to know Maggie Wilkerson, we discovered that she dreams of a trip to the Highland games, has a soft spot for English Bulldogs, and could easily throw down in an infomercial contest.

What’s something that most people don’t know about you?
I have what my husband calls a “last bite, best bite policy.” Whenever I eat a meal, I do it in a way that creates the perfect last bite.

Which living person would you most like the opportunity to meet?
Bob Goff. I really admire his faith, humor, and ability to encourage people to be better humans.

What legacy do you want to leave the world?
That the way I live life daily would leave the type of legacy that makes my family proud.

When was the last time you had a good belly laugh?
I really love a good infomercial! Remember the Turbo Cooker? My sister and husband will come up with a really awful product idea and I create a whole infomercial spiel trying to sell it. We have so much fun with it. Tonight my husband came up with “smart-y pants.” When the wearer is about to fall down, the pants lock and keep the wearer upright. My favorite invention yet is our spraycon, a bacon-flavored food spray. Best used (we imagine) on toast, popcorn, and eggs.
