Wherever you pee, you pee . . . ”
OK, so she wasn’t Doris Day.
“If you do not stop acting like a idiot you may not have a chance grow up at all.”
“By the way, I love you.”

She told me tenderly: …
Nope and nope.

Or there’ll be no food for you –
Get a job, you slob!”
“Back to the Yak!
(Don’t talk back)”
…”I can’t help you, son-
Genetics has doomed your life,
Unless you get a smart wife
I can’t help you, son!”
