'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'

'The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.'

'Daddy, how many whoppers are there in those tall trees?' After waking up in the car while driving through Calaveras Big Trees and hearing daddy say, 'Wow, that's a whopper of a tree.'

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.''

"That's the store that we need to go to and open the door and put our money in." (At age 3. While driving by the new Toys 'R' Us.)
