[about children] Bless their little hears, if they was made out of gold, I’d like to sell ‘em on the open market. I could make me a fortune. Kids! Eh, they don’t what they’re doing. Kids, dadblast ‘em! They’re gonna lead you to ruin. That’s what they’re gonna do, lead you to ruin. They cry at you when they’re young, they yell at you when they’re older, they borrows from you when they’s middle-aged and they leave you alone to die. Without even paying you back. Children, phooey. You give them everything they want, and what do you get back in return? You get nothing! Why they’re just smaller versions of us you know, but I’m not so crazy about me in the first place, so why would I want one of them. I’m asking ya. Children. Ah, children. Little children. You’ll pour your heart to them, you give them everything they want. Give them candy and a lot of toys, and what do you get in return? You get a lot of noise: Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, my poppa’s a mean old man! I’m through with children, I’m through with kids. They ain’t nothing I’m never gonna do about it.
