Good parenting.

"I would like a tube of lemon yellow, cadmium red, cobalt blue, ivory, black, and zinc white, a sixteen-by-twenty canvas, a couple of brushes, and that book 'Painting in Oils'."

"I wanted to be a baseball player 'til I found out they send you to the showers."

What else is there to wish for?

My coach wants me to go to soccer camp. Focusing on one sport isn't good for you. But mom! I'll develop crucial life skills. Let's see. "Landing endorsements, agents and college sports scholarships." The definition of "crucial".

Children's Party

"I'm gonna be a 'New Yorker' cartoonist. You're not supposed to understand it."

'I don't care if Jackson Pollock did start out this way. We are drawing kittens.'

'And when your mother said that you would never be an Olympic gymnast, how did that make you feel?'

'Miss Donahue would give him an F.'

"Oh, don't mind that, it's just my body of unseen work."

"Because when you're drafted by the pros, you'll have to be able to sign your contract. That's why you have to attend first grade."

"My wife has always encouraged me... ...to quit this stupid dream and get a real job." ... "You have a wife?"

'I really wanted to only take accounting courses, but my parents made me take this cartooning class so I would have something to fall back on.'

Bow

"Nobody at school will laugh at me."

Dancing to Mobile Tunes

Cake Walk.

"If I had it all to do over again, I would have liked to be the King of Swing."

So close... Yet so far.

"The extent of your extracurricular activities in high school, may very well be participation in regular program of oral hygiene using an effective decay preventaative tooth paste, but that won't get you into a good university."

"I've made a fortune as a successful artist! I couldn't see this happening if I became a soldier or a worker..."

Charlie's medical advice always went in one ear and out the other.

I'm trying out for the spring play. You'll be great! Ha! You'll be grateful to be an usher, Meryl Creep. Yeah. The good parts go to real actors. Sigh. The arts are sooo uplifting.

'It's great that you want a career in football, Timothy, but don't you think being a striker would be more fun than being a goalpost.'

"That'll be the day!"

"She gets her musical ability from me."

'When you talk about playing, 'at the next level', you mean lawyering, right, not the NBA?'

"We thought we could put in the details later."
