Bessie-isms:

*Not every expectation your teenager has is unreasonable. They expect you to be a pain, expect you to make demands and require them to act like civilized humans. No, they will never admit that they expect you to do those things, but they will never respect you if you don’t.

*The only thing better than laughter with friends, is the laughter of your children, when you tickle and play with them.

Quotable:

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.

Aristotle
