Kindle Notes & Highlights
“My mom’s got a lot on her plate. I try to help out when I can. She has this ongoing to-do list. Or as I call it, the Ta-Da List. Because it would be magic if we actually accomplished anything on it. But when you have this many small kids, it’s like continually cleaning up by yourself after a raging party you didn’t attend that happens every night. Which means my mother’s housekeeping style can best be described as ‘There appears to have been a struggle.’”
“My mom always says go with your gut.” “My gut is really small and easily distracted.” She sighed, and I squeezed her. “Yeah, mine just demands food, and then my butt says, ‘Shut up!’”
“I want to remember the happy times,” I said. “But all I can remember is when he hurt me. Why is that?” “Probably because happiness doesn’t leave scars.”
