They don't belong there, but there they are.

I gave Adam five stars, two for the opening song and a few other songs, and two for this sentence.

They don't belong there because people don't believe they exist, in normal people's lives, in the right places. Why not believe it? It is not clear that if you believe it exists, if you don't believe it does not exist. It's like saying that a carriage full of migrant workers won't fit a Bible, or that a normal family doesn't allow members with social disabilities to join, because conventionally, this is a fact, and this is the evolution of the family. Routines are nothing but prejudices.

The real fact is There they are
Fact is fact. Adam could find his own corner in Central Park without having to understand the assumptions made by convention, no matter how far it was from Betty.

I love hearing stories from people who seem familiar and strangers. Different stories belong to different people, and the same story can belong to many people. A person can tell a story in many ways, just as the same biography can be written in many versions. There is only one word difference between a biography and a legend, in fact, it is a matter of believing or not believing. Ordinary people can have extraordinary stories, and everyone has and is weaving such stories, but sometimes there is a lack of a recorder and three or two appreciators.

    Beth Buchwald: Adam, his mother, and his father were a family of talking raccoons that lived in the middle of New York City. They didn't really belong there, but there they were.
