Shampoo Quotes - page 2
Over Christmas we looked through boxes of family pictures and played a game we call 'Find Mom, find Mom's cigarettes.' There's one in every picture. We've got photos of her pregnant, leaning toward a lit match, and others of her posing with her newborn babies, the smoke forming a halo above our heads. These pictures gave us a warm feeling.
She smoked in the bathtub, where we'd find her drowned butts lined up in a neat row beside the shampoo bottle. She smoked through meals, and often used her half-empty plate as an ashtray. Mom's theory was that if you cooked the meal and did the dishes, you were allowed to use your plate however you liked.
David Sedaris
...I read literally everything I could get my hands on – the shampoo bottle, the cereal box. My mom didn't let us have books at the table or we'd all have read. We didn't always have electricity, so I read by candlelight. I read really fast too. My parents realised I'd run out of things to read and were like: "We need to buy you way more books.”.
