"Suppose they had saved up all my punishments?" she went on, talking more to herself than to the kitten. "What would they do at th...e end of a year? I should be sent to prison, I suppose, when the day came. Or--let me see--suppose each punishment was to be going without a dinner: then, when the miserable day came, I should have to go without fifty dinners at once! Well, I shouldn't mind that much! I'd far rather go without them than eat them!"LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Men seem to flip around the television more than women. Men get that remote control in their hands, they don't even know what the ...hell they're not watching. You know we just keep going, "Rerun, that's stupid, he's stupid, go, go, go." "What are you watching?" "I don't care, I gotta keep going." "Who was that?"

Because women nest and men hunt. That's why we watch TV differently.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
