Dimitra when telling
us a story:
"My friend said that
she had a sore shoulder. A Jehovah's Witness then said that
she had a sore shoulder too. I told my friends 'Shouldn't
her knuckles be hurting? You know...' " *imitates door knocking*
Dimitra in response
to Pauline Hanson's black and white handouts:
"That's funny... I
thought Pauline Hanson would have gone for all white handouts"
Leilani at age seven

Leilani on Friday October

Mum in a state of confusion:
"Katina, for the fifth

You really shouldn't smoke - it stunts your growth!"
During a two hour blackout on June 13th 1999:
