1. I'm eleven years old, and they're telling me, Honey .. on getting into Harvard, your whole life depends. Cuz a prestigious school means a job with big money, so you can live in the Burbs and drive a Mercedes Benz. Ay yai yai yai .. Ay yai yai yai.

I'm eleven years old, I used to love eating Reeses .. and Big Macs, but now mom's got me on a diet.
