“I just don't know when we all decided that if it doesn't fit in a Happy Meal box, it's not for kids. I remember flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz, and I grew up watching Monty Python. I think that kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for, especially when it comes to the absurd.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingKidsRememberGrewFitGrew UpDecidedBoxesCreditFlyingHandleAbsurdMealsMonkeysWizardsPythonMonty Author:Gore Verbinski
“I grew up in a remarkable home, the middle of seven children. My parents raised us well. They loved us well. We laughed hard growing up. But being the middle child, I couldn't figure out where I fit in the home, whether I was the youngest of the older three or the oldest of the younger three. When you don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some bad decisions about who I hung out with, I dropped out of high school, got kicked out of the house.” KnowsWellsChildrenMadeHardHomeSchoolYoungThreeHouseParentDecisionGrowing UpGrowingMiddleFiguresGrewFitGrew UpHigh SchoolRaisedSevenDesperateRemarkableLaughedHungBad DecisionMiddle Child Author:Tullian Tchividjian
“The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.” DifferentBigsAnimalRoomsClassPiecesGrewFitGrew UpHeavyPianoExpensiveFurnitureLiving RoomUpper ClassDifferent AnimalsRocking Out Author:Ben Folds
