I have nothing against undertakers personally. It's just that I wouldn't want one to bury my sister.

I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.

Children who are read to learn two things: First, that reading is worthwhile, and second, that they are worthwhile.
