“When mom and dad went to war the only prisoners they took were the children”
“My family never went skiing. My dad was afraid of heights and my mom felt that a vacation was only a vacation if it involved reading at least two books on the beach.”
“Then, together, they passed through the camp gate and marched up the road, toward wives and sweethearts and children and Mom and Dad and home.”
“Generally, crises were Mom's domain. Dad's job was to listen, nod, act curmudgeonly, and offer to pay for things.”
“Rules are for children. This is war, and in war the only crime is to lose.”
“The Screamingflashed me back to a timewhen mom and dad were still togetherif you could call miles apart together.”
