Ask me Quote by Victoria Chang

“Sometimes people ask me to do stuff in New York, like "Can you read at this thing?" And I say, "Nooo, I can't just get on a plane with these two screaming children - I can't just get rid of them on such short notice and take vacation and fly over to New York."” quote by Victoria Chang — Download Open image
