In life you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's because they're stupid. That will help keep you from reacting to their cruelty. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance... Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.

I'm living out a childhood fantasy. Our house is in a historic district of a small town that I used to read about in storybooks.
I had a very rainbow-colored childhood.
