Cries Quote by Ree Drummond
““Later that night, just as I was dozing off, I heard cries and yells from the other room as Marlboro Man and Tim watched Mike Tyson bite off Evander Holyfield’s ear on live TV. The baby, who’d finally, at long last, gone to sleep moments earlier, woke up and began to cry again. It was official: I was in hell.””
