Brendan: “Yes, they are. Boys become men and get married. Then they become fathers and fathers are the head of the house.”

My little boy still needs to learn that the heart is as important as the head. Maybe, I will have him read The Privilege of Being a Woman when he is in college.

Bernadette (talking about some toy rabbits): “Mine are in Heaven and yours are in Purgatory. Or if you really want, yours can be in Heaven and mine can be in Purgatory.”
