Bessie-isms:

*Pain is instructive. You could learn without it by watching others, but you mostly don’t. Your heart and body would much appreciate you trusting your eyes a lot more.

*Nothing makes a child more pleased than seeing a sibling who’s done them wrong get fried by the parents for something they didn’t do, and that the innocent one did.

Quotable:

A lot of parents pack up their troubles and send them off to summer camp.
