“No one tells us, girls who don’t go on dates, that remembering can be almost as good as what actually happens. Mother climbs all the way to the third floor and stands over me in my bed, but I act like I’m still asleep. Because I just want to remember it awhile.”
I loved that quote so much that I gasped when I read it and then proceeded to read it again 3 times. It is just so true, is it not?
I love The Help.
I love that quote.
Is that THE Baby G watch?
Yup, read it. Loved it. Done. What will the next must read be? I'm dying to find out.
Loved The Help! Such a well told story!

i totally had that same reaction when i read the book!
I need to read this..I know, I'm like the only human who hasn't, but its on my list :)
I love that quote! I started The Help a year ago and I have yet to finish the last two chapters - I don't want it to end!
I actually haven't read it yet! But I might buy it at the airport tomorrow since I'm going to Miami...I'm sure I'll devour it during the flight, from what I hear!
"grits is just a vessel for whatever it is you really wanna be eating." -that one really got me.
Ohhh... I'm looking for a new book. So, it's good? Maybe I'll hunt it out. :) I'm so jealous of your baby G. I always wanted one as a kid but my parents never caved and I never really forgave them.
I thought the same thing when I read that bit! I remember staying in bed a while just to replay the night before in my head over...and over...and over! :)
i need that book. asap.
YES! i read that quote a million times and wrote it down. i really is perfect and true.
That was my absolute favorite quote, too. It's so perfect.
i LOVED that quote too! the best one by far.

oh, well phooey. i still haven't read that book. i'm currently wading through book 2 of the hunger games series.
That's a really nice quote! I've got a small book in which I write all the book quotes I loved =)
I loved The Help as well, and what a melancholy quote this is. I love it- it is so lovely and honest.
I'm so close to finishing this book, I can't put it down! That quote just sums up that feeling so well.
ahh it was so good, wasn't it?! Did you see the movie? it was good too. Chocolate pie anyone??! ;)
That part really caught me too, it's so true.
that quote is solid gold.
just finished it yesterday! obviously also felt compelled to write a post about it! just so damn good!
