Early Quote by Haley Joel Osment
“My mom teaches sixth grade and also taught first grade at one point. She's into dressing up and costumes and designing her own curriculum that way. She stayed home for about eight years with me and my sister when we were young before going back to teaching, so we had a lot of time with her. She taught us to read really early.”

![“When I lost my husband [Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn], I just didn't want to work so hard anymore. I hate that I didn't quit things a lot more before he was gone. I stayed home for six years to take care of him but, at some point, I also felt I had to go back to work.” quote by Loretta Lynn](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7a2/loretta-lynn-6414_back-to-work_when-i-lost-my-husband-oliver-doolittle_1935781.jpg)
