"Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore." ― Ogden Nash Topic(s): Parenting More From Ogden Nash "The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late." "Middle age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you." "If you don’t want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won’t have to work." More In Parenting "I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels."― Tobias Wolff "They saw me, those reckless seekers of beauty, and in a night I was famous."― Lillie Langtry "A baby is born with a need to be loved – and never outgrows it."― Frank A.
