"Yeah, you could say I've got mother issues....she told me I have to move out!"

"My parents said that until I find a job and move out they will not recognize me as a sentient being."

"I'm leaving. It's just way too much collaborating."

'What about you...you've been living here thirty years too?'

"Your mother and I think it's time you got a place of your own. We'd like a little time alone before we die."

"Your mother and I want to make your 21st birthday a moving experience. We'll help you pack."

"Sorry kid, I work alone."

'She knew we'd try to talk her-out of it.'

"All I ask is a chance to ruin my life in my own way."

'I'm sorry Timmy, but if I keep going for help, you'll never learn to take care of yourself,'

"Lost most of my sight, hearing, teeth and hair. Thank God I still god my driver license."

'You let me out. What I do when I'm out is my business.'

"To heck with a husband... just help me find a dependable electrician."

'I find the best way to get them to grow up is to buy them a 1-way ticket to Europe, and let them work their way back.'

"I work well independently. I usually correct all the problems I create."

'It's all right with me if you go out, but you'll have to file a flight plan with your father.'

'I dressed myself.'

"Come on Mum, I'm fully grown-up, surely you can let my friend come between you and me safely..."

"And since when does being twenty-five and married and living in Dallas excuse you from a family meeting?"

Lost and loving it!

Still living with parents....
