"We would see him running around the house with that Ultimate Warrior makeup, and just thought it was a phase. We really tried to get him to go to a trucking school."

"He just got high a lot, and played Call of Duty. We had no idea he was fed up with mediocrity." 

[Lou]

"Proud of him? For what, playing baseball? Our daughter is a heart surgeon and our other son is a college professor. Baseball? Get the f%@# out of here."

"And if his sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Grace Jackson, is reading this, we want you to know that Zach FINALLY finished his volcano project."
