“I love it when you call me daddy.- Jason”

“Gary, if you want to play on this football team, you answer me when I ask you who's your Daddy. Who's your Daddy, Gary? Who's your Daddy?”

“Be careful when you listen to people called they, Olivene, her daddy said. They often tell lies.”

“How did you know my size?""While you were in the shower yesterday, I browsed around."......"Jason, that's not okay. You were snooping in my closet?" He looked at me incredulously "I wouldn't call it snooping. I call it doing my homework.”

“The worst thing in the world was the way I felt when I wanted us to be like the families in the books in the library, when I just wanted Daddy Glen to love me like the father in Robinson Crusoe. (209)”

“I love you, Kitten.Don't try to get out of this. We'll see if you love me when I pay you back.Even then I will love you, Bones called out as I stomped away.”
