Bessie-isms:

*When you repeat a “mistake” it isn’t a mistake, it’s a choice, and a bad one.

*A crying child may need something specific; clean diaper or food for example. Or it might just want the comfort and reassurance of a hug, and you being there.

Quotable:

No labourer in the world is expected to work for room, board and love…except the housewife.
