Mark Twain, the American humorist, always tickles my funny bone. His candid and acerbic observations make him an American jewel. Since summer is here and I have more time to fritter (than usual), I plan to share some of my favorites for your amusement.
Without further ado...
BABIES
Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot; and there ain't any real difference between triplets and a insurrection.
- The Babies speech 1879
A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.
- Letter to Annie Webster, 1876
Since I will be spending the summer with my own boys, I found this observation quite apropos.
