Quote by Blanche Saunders

“But it nettled her that friends often badgered her with statements such as "Poodles are sissy dogs." She decided that the best way to convince everyone that the Poodle, despite its fancy haircut, was as intelligent as any other breed, was to have them perform in a series of obedience exercises.”

“And now that we were home, we could look back with tolerant appreciation of such times as when a little boy in Texas, watching his first demonstration of scent discrimination, shook his head and muttered, "Golly, that lady sure must stink." Or the courtly sheriff in Louisiana who looked at us in amazement when he heard that we had no men folk with us, and in five minutes - with true Southern hospitality - had every man on the place busying setting up camp for us.

“Hi, I'm June." I wave into the mirror stiffly. "I like Domino's Pizza and finance dipshits. The A Star Is Born soundtrack is the most important thing that's ever happened to me despite never having seen the movie. Or even being aware that there's four of them." June hip checks me. "And I'm Jayne," she parrots back. "I'm partial to oat milk, bands no one cares about, white boys who hate me, trust-fund poverty, and I still think tattoos are subversive even though literally every-fucking-body has one." She smiles. "And tote bags for boring magazines." I laugh. To be honest, I'm a little touched she knows so much about me.”
