Anne Tyler Quotes
Red Remembered Growing Up In That House As Heaven. There Were Enough Children On Bouton Road To Form Two Baseball Teams, When They Felt Like It, And They Spent All Their Free Time Playing Out Of Doors - Boys And Girls Together, Little Ones And Big Ones. Suppers Were Brief, Pesky Interruptions Foisted On Them By Their Mothers. They Disappeared Again Till They Were Called In For Bed, And Then They Came Protesting, All Sweaty-faced And Hot With Grass Blades Sticking To Them, Begging For Just Another Half Hour. "I Bet I Can Still Name Every Kid On The Block," Red Would Tell His Own Children. But That Was Not So Impressive, Because Most Of Those Kids Had Stayed On In The Neighborhood As Grown-ups, Or At Least Come Back To It Later After Trying Out Other, Lesser Places. Red
