Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Quotes

As A Kid I Was The Youngest Member Of My Family, And The Youngest Child In Any Family Is Always A Jokemaker, Because A Joke Is The Only Way He Can Enter Into An Adult Conversation. My Sister Was Five Years Older Than I Was, My Brother Was Nine Years Older Than I Was, And My Parents Were Both Talkers. So At The Dinner Table When I Was Very Young, I Was Boring To All Those Other People. They Did Not Want To Hear About The Dumb Childish News Of My Days. They Wanted To Talk About Really Important Stuff That Happened In High School Or Maybe In College Or At Work. So The Only Way I Could Get Into A Conversation Was To Say Something Funny.
