"I understand why the people who work here are so angry. I guess it’s like working at a gas station, but instead of cars, they have to fill up people. And people eat slowly and talk about their stupid lives at the table and make each other laugh but when the people who serve the food come by, they stop laughing and talking and become quiet like they don’t want to let anyone else know about their great jokes. And if the people who bring the food talk about their lives, they’re not allowed to talk about how bad it is, only how good it is, like, “I’m doing great, how are you?” And if they say something truthful like, “I’m doing terrible, I’m a waiter here,” they will probably get fired and then they will be even worse. So it’s probably always a good idea to talk about things happily. But sometimes that’s impossible."

"There are three rules at Ridgemore Day. As you know from the pre-introduction orientation kit, three is a number both children and parents can agree upon according to the Bailey-Wexton Method. It is the number of intergenerational understanding, a number that establishes clear boundaries, but doesn’t confine. Ridgemore is not a prison—it’s a box with three sides. Please note, none of those sides are a ceiling. And all the sides have windows. And all of the windows are open."
