A FEW QUOTES FROM MY SON:
AGE 3: "There's probably a man who turns on the snow."
AGE 4: "What temperature was it when Grandpa died?"
AGE 4: "If you spanked me and it bleeded, I would still love you."
AGE 4: "Mean people like mean stuff and strawberries."
AGE 4 (REFERRING TO OUR PET BEAGLE): "Brautigan's a trick dog 'cause I dropped a chip on the floor and he made it disappear." |

"Of those who really love their sons, few know how to do it. Some spoil them when they are young, and then quarrel with them when they are grown up, for having been spoiled; some love them like mothers, and attend only to the bodily health and strength of the hopes of their family."
