"Grown ups love figures. When you tell them you've made a new friend they never ask about essential matters. They never say to you, 'What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?' Instead, they demand, 'How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much money does his father make?'"
