As a child, my number one best friend was the librarian in my grade school. I actually believed all those books belonged to her.
Erma BombeckWhen a child is locked in the bathroom with water running and he says he's doing nothing but the dog is barking, call 911.
Erma BombeckIt is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
Erma BombeckThere are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I?' That's where courage comes in.
