Quote from Claire in Dude Ranch
Claire: I know you think I'm the mean mom who wouldn't let you marry your boyfriend, but someday you're gonna realize, I-I did what had to be done. Haley: No, you didn't. I was never gonna marry Dylan. I told him no. Claire: Oh, you did? Thank God. Haley: But it was my proposal to turn down. You know, you keep telling me to act like an adult, but then you don't even give me a chance. Claire: Oh. You sort of got me there. But, sweetheart, I don't expect you to understand this. I certainly didn't when I was your age. I look at you as my baby, and I always will. It's- I's just what moms do.
