Once again, re-reading Ramona with Graham and Lucy. I actually got choked up at one part in this book, where Ramona is so angry and upset that she's crying face-down on the couch, and her mom comes over and says, "Ramona, what are we going to do with you?" And Ramona says, "Love me!" That was just such a poignant answer, especially now as a parent where I've had my children doing that same thing, throwing that same tantrum and having a meltdown--and just seeing that they're begging for love. Ramona feels so real to me.
