Quotes[]
- Angela: Honey, we need to talk about Daisy. She's shopping for crystals. She told me that her doula told her that if she found the right one, that it would channel positive energy into her womb and make the birth painless. I told her it was like having a minivan drive out of you, no matter how many crystals you buy.
Brennan: Wait, didn't Daisy ask for general anesthesia when she had her tooth filled?
