How do I properly punctuate a series of quotations?

Question

For example: The boy often says things like, "That's stupid," "I don't like that," "I shouldn't have to do that," and, "I never liked math anyway."

Have I punctuated this example sentence properly, or does it need to be corrected in some manner? Please tell me the grammar rule if you know it.

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. Nice work. The quotation marks go outside of the commas, and the commas separate the series of quotations. The only unnecessary comma is after "and."

If this or another answer here proves helpful in your research, you can encourage good answers by choosing one answer as the "best answer."

Lose the comma after 'and'. Otherwise it's fine.
