Bessie-isms:

*Women spend small fortunes on makeup and clothing wanting to look more desirable, but then negate all of it by frowning constantly. A smile is a female’s best accessory, and it requires only a bit of awareness and practice.

*Putting produce in a refrigerator causes it to rot within 24 hours, or so it seems.

Quotable:

A good storyteller is a person who has a good memory and hopes other people don’t.
