Patti

“I yearn to be a woman of more depth, but I'm not so fond of the path I'd need to follow to get there.”

“For the record? I have never been her baby. In fact, I reject the notion of coming out of her body. I prefer to believe I was hatched, or perhaps purchased.”
― Jen Lancaster, Pretty in Plaid

“I love you," my mom says.
