Quote from Lois in Lois Battles Jamie
Lois: No! This is Mommy's purse! You can't have it! Please, it's the only thing in the house that's Mommy's! Hal: Lois. Lois: Well, he has a million toys. Why does he only want to take my things? Hal: Honey, honey, you're taking this too personally. He doesn't understand what he's doing. He's just a baby. Look, if you just give it to him for just a couple of minutes, he'll get tired of it. Lois: You're right. I guess I was just feeling that if I gave in to him, he'd see it as a sign of weakness. I'm going to stop this right now. Hal: Yeah. Lois: Here, sweetie. Mommy's purse. You can have that for five minutes, okay? [cut to a disgusted Hal retrieving the open purse from Jamie's crib:] Hal: I thought you said he wasn't eating anything.
