Quotes by Ben Moor (?)

“I can see Bobby, who makes Nicotine Patch Kids. These are dolls for children whose parents are trying to give up smoking. The dolls steadily put on weight and their mood becomes grouchier the more the kids play with them. The chip inside is programmed with phrases like "Not now, dammit!" and "If you knew what I was going through!”
― Ben Moor, Poppy Day
