Lisa Andrews: Some Things My Parents Said

February 5, 2015 by PBQ

Sometimes I think people kill themselves
when things are at their best.

Sex is like dynamite, it can explode in your face.

When a man looks at a woman,
he thinks of only one thing.

If a man and a woman love each other very much,
then God decides.

Some women are very fertile,
there’s nothing they can do to stop it.

The only thing worse than a mistake
is a careless mistake.

We’re not the monsters you think we are.
