Famous quotes containing the words talking and/or clock:
“One of your biggest jobs as a parent of multiples is no bigger than simply talking to your children individually and requiring that they respond to you individually as well.

“The source of poetry that
seeing the clock stopped, says,
The clock has stopped
that ticked yesterday so well?”
