Growing Up Tales Pillows

Carole Jean's First "Big Girl" Heels

"Mom, please! I'm a married woman whose friends have been reviewed favourably by the New York Times."

"Your momma lied to you, boy."

'You know they've reached puberty when they're more interested in Dr. Ruth than Babe Ruth.'

"It seems like only yesterday that Dad told me I'll be an adult before I know it."

'When I turned 18 something started happening to me every month. I started receiving a credit card bill.'

'Okay mum, I'll eat it all up. But I doubt I'll grow big and strong on this muck!'

'Dad, I know all about the birds and the bees; explain stock-swaps and derivatives.'

"Mom said eat everything in moderation, so I renamed the cookie jar 'Moderation.'"

'Son, the world is ripe for the taking ... you better stay home with me.'

'Wow Dad, I'm growing fast: Soon, my tongue will be as long as yours...'

"No, I want to know the meaning of never calling your mother."

"I told my mom either the sitter goes, or I go!"

"You used to be a lot more fun."

Tooth fairy

'I can change! I swear!'

"Not until you've arranged your pillows."

"You give the tooth fairy your teeth, and she gives you some money. It's called reverse mortgage."

'I think you're ready for the big chair...'

"The time has come to talk of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of double-entry bookkeeping, too."

'We think he has a future in politics.'

"Look, you're the one who asked me for some girl advice."

"I plan on keeping this off my resume!"

"No need to push, Mother—I'm going."

"Remember back when we were just larva and didn't have a care in the world?"

Mall of ages

"They grow up so fast."

"Junior's moved back home! It took him less than a week to work out that the grass is not always greener on the other side..."

Some moss pounces on a rolling stone.

'Look Mummy: I've put on my shell all by myself...'

"That's O.K., Dad. I think I'll do with the ambient waterfall sounds tonight."
