Michelle Pfeiffer's kids urged her to return to work

Most parents get on their kids’ cases about getting jobs and going towork, but for Michelle Pfeiffer, it was the opposite. The Hairspraystar took a self-imposed five-year break to focus on her family -husband David E. Kelley and children Claudia Rose, 14, and John Henry,12 – and pretty soon found herself being asked to go back to work, shesaid on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Honestly, I didn’t realize how much time was going by. I was having agreat time and then my kids started saying, ‘Hey mom, you going back towork soon?’ I said, ‘Yeah, isn’t it great? I’m here, I’m around. Isn’t itnice having me around?’ They said, ‘Yeah, but we really like visitingyou at work too.’ So anyway, I think they’re kind of happy that I’mback working.

I saw that interview last night- she is quite funny! I didn’t know she has kids that age- I thought they were younger.
