“I’m very close to my dad. He’s about six inches away right now and snoring in my ears.”

“It’s the same with cell phones. I never answer them up to my ear. I always put it on speakerphone and hold it six to eight inches away from my brain. Here’s an example of a phone call I recently received from an unknown number:-Hello?-Hi, Is Shehe there? -Yes. But S/he can’t talk right now, as it is very confused. But I’ll tell him or her that you called.”

“I’m older now than my dad was when he was my age. Wait, that’s not right. That’s not my dad at all, that’s just some stranger hanging around in my memory.
”

“I’m no more used to being without a weapon than you are. (Cassandra)She’s right about that. Her teddy bear is a six-inch retractable knife with a snub-nosed .38 Special. (Katra)”

“Is your dad still in a huffufle about it?” I ask. “Oh, he’s huffufled, all right.”

“I planted a tree. You’d think my neighbors would be happy for the shade it would provide them, but no, they said I planted it too close to their house. Since when is six inches too close?”
