Five Parents quotes to remember:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A child needs love the most when he least deserves it.
--- Anonymous

A child's life is like a piece of paper. Everyone leaves a mark.
--- Chinese Proverbs

We are the only animals that let our kids come back home.
--- Bill Cosby

By the time your kids are fit to live with, They live with somebody
else.
--- K. Prieskorn

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.
--- Erma Bombeck

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who remembers Erma? I loved every word that gal wrote. If you have
never heard of her try to find one of her books on parenting, humor or
just anything. She is probably the funniest writer who ever lived...

Have a great and blessed day!

OOpppss - I meant to say "how hard these books might be to FIND..."

I probably have a couple of the paperbacks left around here in a box
somewhere. She was so awesome.
