Willona Woods:  I 've been on my own since I was _ 16 _ .
Mrs. Gordon: Oh , really ? Well you 're lucky , sister , because when you were 16 you did n't have to worry about anybody but yourself , me when I was 16 , I was pregnant . And I did n't have a dime and a man who left me before Penny was born .
Willona Woods: That happens every day in the week . You could 've done something .
Mrs. Gordon: Done something ? Sister , I did do something , I carried that child and made a career for myself . And I wanted to do those things , but then when that baby 's born , what 's she do for me ? Nothing ! Nothing ! I ca n't even keep a man on account of Penny ! If it were n't for her all the time needing things and wanting things , I might be allowed some happiness . Now she 's gone off and caused even more trouble ! Haven't I had enough ?
