"I often spend half of Sunday morning on the phone with Ilse and Gertrud, and I’ve missed church a few times because we were planning our next grocery run. Honestly, the sales at LIDL matter more to me than the Lord’s commandments. At least LIDL offers some variety instead of the same thing for the last 2,000 years. Have you ever seen Italian Week at church?" — Sep 13, 2026 05:29AM

“I did start out in witchcraft to get boys, to tell you the truth.'
'Think I don't know that?'
'What did you start out to get, Esme?'
Granny stopped, and looked up at the frosty sky and then down at the ground.
'Dunno,' she said at last.'Even, I suppose.”

“Just shut your mouth, you ignorant twat."
"Aw, Dallas, he called me a twat. How come you get to be a bitch, but I only get to be a twat."
"It's the rank," Eve told her. "You'll make bitch one day."
"Thanks. That means a lot to me.”
