Bessie-isms:

*Enjoy your children when they are very young. The intensity with which they explore a world that is utterly new and fascinating to them will soon fade and be lost.

*Teens are bombarded by sex and sexual images constantly, but parents expect them to have no interest in sex. This is a magnificent example of self delusion, considering how awash with urges and hormones the average teen is.

Quotable:

If you are afraid of being lonely, don’t try to be right.

Jules Renard
