Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!

me,
But jest ‘fore Christmas I’m as good as I kin be!”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
“In spite of the six thousand manuals on child raising in the bookstores, child raising is still a dark continent and no one really knows anything. You just need a lot of love and luck—and, of course, courage.”
