"Hyoyoung ambled through the residential streets and watched the sky’s colour shift from moment to moment. Her sister used to call this point in the day – when the sun was setting and your stomach gradually began to rumble – ‘time to leave the playground and go home’. The kids that were gathered around the slide and the jungle gym would disperse one by one as their mothers called them back for dinner." — Nov 02, 2026 11:15AM

"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

"“For heaven’s sake! Who created the social estates? Our Heavenly Father, of course, didn’t He? If He had wanted the beggar to marry the countess, there would be no beggar and no countess — no below, no above. Naturally the beggar should love as well. But please, according to his station!”

“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.”
