Famous quotes containing the word family:

Corroded to a grin.
Why, you black old, tough old hell of a man,
Move your family in!”

“Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.”
