[edit] Tom Baker
- You soaked his underwear in meat. That is so wrong. Funny, but wrong.
- Okay, enough is enough! You're slacking on your chores, you're fighting at school, things are out of control! As of right now, you are all grounded. What's grounded? You go to school, you come home from school, you do your chores, you do your homework, you go to bed!
- [On the phone trying to get a babysitter] How many? Well, when you get over here we can just count 'em up! [Next call] How many kids do I have? Twelve. But one doesn't live with me, and one you never see 'cause he's so mad! [Next call] Just...just...just twelve. [Next call] Hello! I'll just hang up on myself.
- If I screw up raising my kids, nothing I achieve will matter much.
- [Sarah] has a dark gift.
[edit] Kate Baker
- I guess you could say that when Tom and I left Midland we had a mess of theories about how to raise children. We still have a mess of children, but no theories. Sure, 12 is still our number. It's the number of months my book was on the bestseller list. It's the number of job offers Tom turned down before we found one close to home. And each day it's the number of times I'm thankful there's such a thing as family.
