Then she took me to the Solidarity Day thing, and it was the first time I had ever been in a big crowd of women yelling, and it really made me want to do it forever. View quote

Dad would march you straight to the basement with a hairbrush in his hand if he caught you keeping your hamster cage like this. View quote
