Ann M. Martin Quote

One night last year when my father and I were eating supper at 6.17 p.m., I said to him, Did you have a favourite?A favourite what? asked my father.A favourite foster mother.Yes, I did, said my father. Her name was Hannah Pederson.That is very interesting, I told him, recalling Mrs Leibler's conversational tips, because 'Hannah' is a kind of word called a palindrome. That means you can spell it the same way whether you start at the beginning or the end. My name is not a palindrome because if you spell it backwards it's E-S-O-R. But it does have a homonym.My father said, Don't get started on homonyms, Rose.So I said, Did you have any favourite foster brothers or sisters?
