Jeannette Walls Quote

How many places have we lived? I asked Lori. That depends on what you mean by 'lived', she said. If you spend one in some town, did you live there? What about two nights? Or a whole week? I thought. If you unpack all your things, I said. We counted eleven placed we had lived, then we lost track. We couldn't remember the names of some of the towns or what the houses we had lived in looked like. Mostly, I remember the inside of cars. What do you think would happen if we weren't always moving around? I asked. We'd get caught, Lori said.pg. 29
