Bessie-isms:

*A child isn’t like a pet; you can’t easily give them away when you tire of cleaning up their messes! Putting them down is frowned on as well. You’d be wise to borrow someone’s kids for a trial before leaping into that mess with no experience.

*I’ve concluded that summer exists to give us a different thing to complain about, after bitching about the winter cold for months.

Quotable:

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.

Johann W. von Goethe
