Bessie-isms:

*Your parents probably lied to you many times, in an effort to keep you safe and secure. Don’t complain, as you’ll do the same things if you have children, no matter how often you swear you won’t.

*Every child threatens to run away from home at least once. Some actually try, but likely get tired or hungry before they suffer any harm, and come back. Only pity the ones who return to sad sighs instead of hugs and kisses.

Quotable:

The thoughtless are rarely wordless.
