"It's all right," he said.

"This is the third time I cooked
it this way. Why can't you
ever say if you like something?"

"Well, if I didn't like it, I
wouldn't eat it," he said.

"You never can say anything
I cook tastes good."

"I don't know why all the time
you think I have to say it's good.
I eat it, don't I?"

"I don't think you have to say
all the time its good, but once
in awhile you could say
you like it."

"It's all right," he said.

"Nothing you do for children is ever wasted."

and

"Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough."

It is Keillor, you're right, and he did, indeed, edit the collection. It's very good. I'd love to check out Leaving Home.
