There is a saying: “Nothing is noisier than a house with children, and nothing quieter than a house without children.”

Most parents I know ask the same thing: How will our kids afford to live in Los Angeles? The answer is that most won’t.

I believe the birth of every child is a miracle, so on Grandparents Day, we had miracles galore.

Saying I love you is nice, but showing your love for someone is better.

Grandparents must fly around the world more than the United States Secretary of State.

My extremities are always chilled, and it is not my fault.

The feeling of being able to support yourself should not be taken for granted. Being able to buy this for my parents with my money was one of my happiest and proudest days.

I am not a hoarder, but I am a saver of things.

In my early teens, if my dad said, “Mark, get your coat on; we need to change the oil in the car,” I was as happy as if he’d said he would buy me a puppy.
