Quote from Lane in Santa's Secret Stuff
Lane: I'm sick of her. I'm sick of it all. I'm sick of being treated like I'm not a person, like I'm some incubator whose puffy ankles and varicose veins and bathroom habits are up for discussion. On what planet is it appropriate to ask a person how many times a day she urinates? Zach: Well, you can ask me. Lane: I don't want to ask you. Zach: Six times today so far. I had a lot of coffee. Lane: I'm sick of being told what to eat and what I shouldn't and what side I should sleep on when I lie down. I'm a person, Zach. I'm an adult. I don't want to be hiding things under the floorboards and behind cushions again. Zach: Yeah, that's no good. Plus, we're starting to get ants and mites. Lane: I don't want everything to change just because we're having these babies. Zach: But things are going to change. There's no getting around it. Really, really soon, we're gonna have two babies. Two alive human sons. Lane: It was such a small window. A peephole, really. For years, I was this repressed kid, and then there was the briefest of windows. And then... slam. All of a sudden, I'm this overburdened mother. I barely got to do it, Zach. I barely got the chance to be a person.
