Ah, Mothers

Ramona felt that her mother did not understand. She wanted to go to school. She wanted to go to school more than anything in the world. But she could not go back when her teacher did not like her.--Beverly Cleary, Ramona the Pest

I love this part of the book. It just makes me feel all warm inside because I know that I'm not the only one who thinks parents can be a wee bit inconsiderate sometimes.
Ah, well.
