My Father Belonged To A Jewish Social

I Wanted My Wild Things To Be Frightening.

My Sister Had Her Own Room. She Also Had Innumerable Boyfriends. I Had A Yo-yo Collection That Was Beyond Belief, And The Reason I Had It Was Mostly That I Would Stand In The Doorway Of The Living Room Watching Her And Her Boyfriend. Finally She Caught On How To Get This Kid Out Of The Way. Give Him A Yo-yo!

Life Has Only Gotten Better Personally For Me As I've Gotten Older. I Mean, Being Young Was Such A Gross Waste Of Time. I Was Just Such A Miserable, Miserable Person.

I Think There Is Something Barbaric In Children, And It's Missing In Lots Of Books For Them Because We Don't Like To Think Of It. We Want Them To Be Happy [but] Childhood Is A Very Tough Time.

Bumble-ardy Is A Very Wicked Little Child As Far As I'm Concerned. He's Not To Be Trusted.
