Quote #10

"Never you mind my family on my father's side," said Billy angrily, for every mule hates to be reminded that his father was a donkey. (13.67)

This is both a funny line, and ironic considering almost every other character in the book wants to be part of a family, yet the mule wants to set himself apart from his heritage.
