About This Quote

If you have a question, then find the answer. This quote is about love and family. Many families go through hard times with their children. While there are some families who need to consult the dictionary to find out what the correct words mean, there are also some families that don't need to look up the definitions of words they use on a regular basis.

This happens when you know your parents and your family well. For example, it may be easy for you to remember what your mother meant when she said “chocolate chip cookie” because you were with her every day and saw how she behaved around all things chocolate chip. You know her personality and how she reacts to certain situations.
