#6183Why do they call it baby-SITTING when all you do is run after them?
#6184Why not have an old-fashioned Christmas for your family this year? Just
picture the scene in your living room on Christmas morning as your children
open their old-fashioned presents.

Your 11-year-old son: "What the heck is this?"

You: "A spinning top! You spin it around, and then eventually it falls
down. What fun! Ha, ha!"

Son: "Is this a joke? Jason Thompson's parents got him a computer with
two disk drives and 128 kilobytes of random-access memory, and I get this
cretin TOP?"

Your 8-year-old daughter: "You think that's bad? Look at this."

You: "It's figgy pudding! What a treat!"

Daughter: "It looks like goat barf."
-- Dave Barry, "Simple, Homespun Gifts"
#6185You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have,
for instance.
-- Franklin P. Jones
#6186"You can't expect a mother to be with a small child all the time," Margaret
Mead once remarked, with her usual good sense, but in 1978 she shocked
feminists by snapping that women don't really have children to put them in
day care twelve hours a day, either.
-- Caroline Bird, "The Two Paycheck Marriage"
#6187You can't hug a child with nuclear arms.
#6188Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You
need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion
picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use
the word "collectible" as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified
success.
-- Fran Lebowitz, "Social Studies"
#6189Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
-- George Bernard Shaw
#6190Youth is the trustee of posterity.
#6191Youth is when you blame all your troubles on your parents; maturity is
when you learn that everything is the fault of the younger generation.
#6192Youth. It's a wonder that anyone ever outgrows it.
