Bessie-isms:

*You wish Santa was real but know the truth. Do you understand this also?  Santa can be real if you are willing to make it so! Do you have the heart to do that, for others, or will you just sit and complain?

*Do you remember wishing for some special toy, and then being disappointed Christmas morning when it wasn’t there? It still hurts to recall, doesn’t it? But in a sense, that was just good practice for the disappointments of life to come. There are always worse ones, than not getting a toy!

Quotable:

The secret to dealing with a child is to not be its parent.
