Whenever the Curry family walks into a room, everyone notices. Their success is largely built on the dedication of Sonya Curry. However, like every normal human being, Sonya slipped up in something major once.

Sonya has three children, Stephen, Seth and Sydel. But during their adolescent years, she was an extremely busy person. In 1995, she founded the Christian Montessori School of Lake Norman, in North Carolina. All three of her children were students at the school.
Sonya oversaw operations there. The routine for each day was consistent. After the school day, Sonya would gather Steph, Seth and Sydel and head home. But one day, that didn’t happen.
Sonya recently joined her daughter Sydel and her co-host, Cameron Brink, on their Straight to Cam podcast and spoke about that incident. Sydel took the opportunity to ask her mother about the infamous moment and what was going through her head.
“My sister called me,” Sonya said. “She was like, ‘Did you forget something? Is it quiet in your house?’ I was like, ‘No. I’m just cooking dinner.’ She said, ‘Sonya, who are you cooking for?’ And I was like, ‘My children!'”
Sonya couldn’t believe that she had forgotten her children at school. The problem was they lived quite a distance from the school, so she asked her sister to drop the children home, since she was already in the middle of cooking.
At the moment, Sonya’s heart filled with anxiety. However, she can now laugh about it. Sydel remains confused about how her mother could forget all three of them. Sportingly, she joined her mother in laughing about it.
Sonya wanted 10 grandkids, Sydel wouldn’t oblige
Sonya has witnessed the lives she has brought to this planet do great things. Aside from wanting to see them achieve their dreams, she also wanted them to conceive many children.
In fact, her desire was to have 10 grandchildren. But that request didn’t land smoothly.
Sydel has two children with her husband, Suns guard, Damion Lee. They have one son, Daxon, and a daughter, Daryn. Sonya is a joyful grandmother to Sydel’s two kids. She loves her grandkids so much that she suggested the idea of adding another one to the family.
“Half a year back, I saw her, and I was like ‘I hope you’ll have one more, maybe 2,'” Sonya said. “And she gave me the look of death. She sent me right to hell with that one.”
Sydel had no intentions of adding another to the family but is now expecting baby #3. Looks like Sonya’s dreams will come true after all.
