One of Linda's favorite quotes is:""Lollipops turn into cigarettes. Hugs turn into sex. Bikes become cars. Love turns into lust. Face paint became make-up. Orange juice turns into vodka. Nap time turns into detentions. The innocent ones turn to druggies... Remember when: We had no idea what racism was, and the farthest we got with the word “race” was who could run the fastest. If we held our best friends hand of the same gender, we didn’t have to worry about being called “gay”. We could wear costumes to the grocery store, and no one had a problem with it. We didn’t care about what label was inside our shirt, the only label you could find was our name which our mothers sewed in so we didn’t lose our clothes.

Wearing protection meant wearing knee pads, or a helmet. Our parents were our heroes. Weight was never an issue everyone was just… them. We got cuts and bruises that weren’t intentional. At the end of the rainbow was a pot of gold, but we didn’t want the gold, we just wanted the pot so that we could use it as a huge drum. Pot wasn’t a drug it was something that you’re parents used to cook you spaghetti. When we saw the cop’s we didn’t run in fear or get nervous, we went up and asked if we could play with there gun. And finally, remember when we couldn’t wait to grow up… "".
