Quote by Maurice Sendak
Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another

Most children – I know I did when I was a kid – fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They dont tell their real parents about that – you dont want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar. – Maurice Sendak
