You’ve never seen a cockroach? You wouldn’t like them. They have little antennae that stick out and move like this (*gestures moving antennae.*) They are skinny and brown. Looks like a date pit with legs.
| Dad: | And you wanted to do this in New York. You wanted to do this on your own. |
| Rose: | I didn't want to do this on my own. What have you really done to help me though? |
| Dad: | We took you there, we took you back. We've given you a home. |
| Rose: | Meh. |
| Dad: | What do you want us to do, feed you grapes and fan you with a bay leaf? I mean a fig leave. |
| Rose: | You mean a palm leaf. |
On "vegan" organic strawberries
| Mom: | These strawberries taste better than the ones we usually get. |
| Dad: | Why is that? |
| Mom: | They are organic. |
| Dad: | They're also vegan. Because they're vegan, when they were young, they were not fed their mothers' milk. The mothers, they chew the grass, and they get the byproducts of all the unhealthy stuff and pass it on to the children. Because these strawberries are not fed in the traditional way, they're better for you. |

I am going off to college in less than a week, but I will always be your Baby Rose. I’m spreading my wings! Thanks for letting me.
