Twenty-three skidoo, salad days, nosey parker, bandbox fresh, the catbird seat, chocolate teapot, and something about Grandma sucking eggs. One of his favourites was 'safe as houses'. Teaching me to ride a bike, my mother worrying in the doorway: \"Calm down, Linda, this street is as safe as houses.\" Convincing Jamie to sleep without his nightlight: \"It's as safe as houses in here, son, not a monster for miles.\" Then overnight the world turned into a hideous nightmare, and the phrase became a black joke to Jamie and me. Houses were the most dangerous places we knew. Hiding in a patch of scrubby pines, watching a car pull out from the garage of a secluded home, deciding whether to make a food run, whether it was too dicey. \"Do you think the parasites'll be long gone?\" \"No way - that place is as safe as houses. Let's get out of here.\" And now I can sit here and watch TV like it is five years ago and Mom and Dad are in the other room and i've never spent a night hiding in a drainpipe with Jamie and a bunch of rats while bodysnatchers with spotlights search for the thieves who made off with a bag of dried beans and a bowl of cold spaghetti. I know that if Jamie and I survived alone for twenty years we would never find this feeling on our own. The feeling of safety. More than safety, even - happiness. Safe and happy, two things I thought i'd never feel again. Jared made us feel that way without trying, just be being Jared. I breathe in the scent of his skin and feel the warmth of his body under mine. Jared makes everything safe, everything happy. Even houses.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephenie Meyer" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephenie-meyer/dad-used-to-say-lots-of-funny-things-like-he-was-speaking-his-own/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b36/stephenie-meyer-91_five-years_dad-used-to-say-lots-of-funny-things-lik_3075806.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b36/stephenie-meyer-91_five-years_dad-used-to-say-lots-of-funny-things-lik_3075806.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b36/stephenie-meyer-91_five-years_dad-used-to-say-lots-of-funny-things-lik_3075806.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Dad used to say lots of funny things - like he was speaking his own language sometimes.
