“It’s easy for a little bit until they hit about 12 or 13 and then put them in a barrel, put a lid on the barrel and feed them through the knothole. At the age of 16 you just cover up the knothole.” -Mark Twain -Mark Twain
2-Year-Old’s Philosophy of Living: If I like it, it’s mine If it’s in my hand it’s mine. If I can take it from you it’s mine. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine. If it’s mine it must never appear to be yours in any way. If I’m building something, all the pieces are mine. If it looks just like mine, it’s mine. And if I ever think it’s mine, it’s mine.
