Never forget whose grandchild you are -- Things have a time of beauty -- Sometimes the sun makes a person mean -- You gotta talk to a person to get an answer -- Girl deserves some pretty flowers -- You learn by watching, trying things out -- People can run hot and cold -- Life is long, child -- We can be a team -- Nature will always give you comfort -- Talking about parents causes headaches -- Attitudes are slower to change than law -- You''ve got a thinker inside you -- Allowed and wanted are two different things -- Never stand like a whipped puppy -- Find something worth talking about -- Birds hate to be caged -- Tuck memories away for eternity.
