“If that tight little spaceship was a happy home, then that astronaut’s real home must have been a sad one. A happy home had nothing to do with three men in a bubble eating sawdust food and watching pencils floating in the air. A happy home meant having everyone under one roof, sitting around the table, eating a peach cobbler or pecan pie.”
