Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put us in an impossible situation.

"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.)

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

“If we call these foothills, can we call the little trees 'foot trees?''' (While driving in the foothills.)

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