First of all, I'm not sure if you're supposed to ask these kinds of questions in forums. So, I apologize in advance.

But, I've been looking for a specific quote from Rant without re-reading the book, but I've come up with nothing. It's about parents and disappointing them.

It's something along the lines of, "Picture the first time your parents held you. Now picture the first time they saw you as something other than a tiny version of themselves." And it goes on to say stuff about disappointing them.

This hit really close to home for me and I've been trying to find it for a few days now with no luck.
So, if you know what I'm talking about, please help me. Thanks.

Picture the moment when your mom and dad first saw you as something other than a pretty, tiny version of them. You as them, but improved. Better educated. Innocent. Then picture when you stopped being their dream.

I think thats the one you were looking for.

What is the best kind of shellfish? Personality wise.
