How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
They never ask me about my dad, if my dad is driving, or whatever. It's like there's this big wall between them and me. (5.3)
Moms aren't the only parents who can drive you to the mall and cook you dinner, yo. Granted, Corinna's dad lives on canned chili and indefinitely postpones clothes shopping, but we've got to give him credit for that just-toss-the-tampons-in-the-cart-at-the-grocery-store thing.
Quote #5
They should make earplugs for people who are grieving, so we don't have to hear the stupid things people say, but I'd look like a dork in them. (5.13)
We're kind of surprised Dr. Dre hasn't jumped into this market yet. Just sayin'.
Quote #6
It's times like this when I feel like he barely notices me, even though we're in the same house. It's not like I am totally invisible, but more like we're separated by fog and can barely see each other. (6.29)
Corinna doesn't just feel separate from people who aren't grieving; she feels separate from her dad, too. They might be mourning the same person, but they're mourning totally different relationships.
