- Oh, my gosh, Matilda, now look what you did!

- They named her Matilda.

- You're supposed to eat the spinach.

- Babies! You're better off raising tomatoes.

- By the time she was 2, Matilda had learned what most people learn in their early 30s: How to take care of herself.

- As time went by, she developed a sense of style.

- Every morning, Matilda's older brother, Michael, went to school. Come on, get out of here.
