What Sam says
Overheard in the Wolfe House #10
Peggy (disappointed after reading her favorite grocer won’t expand to Texas): Trader Joe’s isn’t interested in being online either.
Sam: You can buy a plane ticket to Sacramento if you want to shop at Trader Joe’s.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #9
Sam (on manhood): I might have to start shaving every day. Boy, it’s hard to keep up with that.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #8
Sam: No more coal. No gas. Everyone needs a solar panel on their roof. The power companies should use wind. Maybe if I tell them, they will listen.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #7
Peggy: Sam, come out to the back porch and hear this frog sound.
Temple Grandin flies coach
On a Southwest Airlines flight from Amarillo to Denver recently, Sam and Dr. Grandin sat across the aisle from each other.
Michael was the only other person in our family who recognized her. Sam couldn’t make the connection between the photos and the real person. It took Michael a minute to realize why I didn’t want to stop and introduce ourselves. I have no idea whether Dr. Grandin would feel overwhelmed by strangers doing that, but Sam would.
Dr. Grandin spent the flight reading the Wall Street Journal. Sam liked looking past his sister and me to see out the window. Probably no one else on the flight noticed all the famous people on the plane.
As Sam says, “I’m a little bit famous.”

Sam (turning off the electric razor): That’s it. I give up.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #5
Sam: It’s hard being a picky eater. You have to try so many new things.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #4
Sam: (after working for four days to get the wi-fi working on his old PC) Why is it that once you give up all hope then the problem is fixed?
