• "Honest and truly, I think Phoebe nearly fainted dead away on the carpet. There were two reasons for this. The first one was that Mrs. Winterbottom looked different. Her hair was not only short but also quite stylish. She was wearing lipstick, mascara, and a little blush on her cheeks, and her clothes were altogether unlike anything i had ever seen her in..."

This reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday because she gets a new haircut & trendy clothes.

• "I wanted to memorize the grass and the trees, the smells and the sounds."

I like this because I do the same thing sometimes. If I think about a place I've been I can recall the distinct smell. If I imagine myself walking around in my grandma's house I can smell it. And same if I eat things. If I think about french toast or cotton candy etc. hard enough I can taste it
