Emotion of Mr. Kenwigs on hearing the family news from Nicholas

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".

"My mom says I can start a rock band if I call it 'I Love My Mommy'. You in?"

"Because he's illiterate. That's why I have to read to him all the time."

"You never told me your dad was so delightfully old-fashioned."

"Were we expecting a baby?"

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

"Adopted? It's cute how you think we would've picked you."

'A boy at school was named after his father. They've called him Dad.'

"Why do small children ask so many questions?" "Why not? We need to learn, don’t we? Anyway it’s no big deal is it? Isn’t that what parents are for? You were probably the same, weren’t you? So why complain?"

"If you think the first half of this psychological test is intrusive, wait until you're grilled by me mother."

"What do I think is an appropriate punishment? I think an appropriate punishment would be to make me live with my guilt."

'If Mom says no, you ask Dad -- it's called the 'checks and balances' system.'

Yes, they are all dependants."
