I mean, when I think about it, what's more important? Clothes - or the miracle of new life?

The thing about lying to your parents is, you have to do it to protect them. It’s for their own good.

I'm allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff.
