My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.

Thanks to my mother, not a single cardboard box has found its way back into society. We receive gifts in boxes from stores that went out of business twenty years ago.

It's frightening to wake up one morning and discover that while you were asleep you went out of style.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

For some unexplained reason, it's always the other end of the table that's wild and raucous, with screaming laughter and a fella who plays 'Holiday for Strings' on water glasses.

All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.

The fact was I didn't want to look my age, but I didn't want to act the age I wanted to look either. I also wanted to grow old enough to understand that sentence.
