Original Commentary

Miz Taylor's monologue was actually cut quite a bit here... she's a rather long-winded person. Kimberly was raised mostly by her father, as has been mentioned once or twice - Terrence and Isabel

Modern Commentary
That's "didn't see each other much" in the first panel because we hadn't worked out a solid timeline and wanted to leave room, just in case we needed to. In case there was a plot point later on that would rely on Kimberly meeting her mother some time between now and ten years in the past.

We didn't. But it's good to not pre-emptively rule it out.- Terrence
