Quotes by Diane Laney Fitzpatrick (?)

“In 2007 I actually wrote part of a novel, but then something flew past the window in my study and I got distracted and made a picture frame out of shells instead.”

“We were in danger of having our eyes poked out on a daily basis, and we looked straight hair dead in the eye by not eating our bread crusts. This was also before they found a cure for getting overheated.
We also faced getting hemorrhoids from sitting on the cold cement wall in front of the school, having permanently crossed eyes from making faces, and getting pinworms from playing with kids whose parents and addresses we didn’t know.”
― Diane Laney Fitzpatrick

“Don’t we baby boomers have enough to feel old about, without having to see the top strap of a thong every time a salesgirl bends over to find the flannel nightgowns in our size?”
