Quote #10

The years went by, and Mary Alice and I grew up, slower than we wanted to, faster than we realized. Another war came, World War II, and I wanted to get in it. The war looked like my chance to realize my old dream of flying. (8.1)

As the years pass, Joey and Mary Alice grow up, but that's not all…the world around them grows up, too. Before they can even process it, they're out of the Great Depression and going into World War II.
