Quotes
Your baby grows a tooth, then two,and four, and five, then she wants some meatdirectly from the bone. It's allover: she'll learn some words, she'll fallin love with cretins, dolts, a sweettalker on his way to jail. And you,your wife, get old, flyblown, and ruenothing. You did, you loved, your feetare sore. It's dusk. Your daughter's tall.
