Quotable Parenthood

I generally love a good quote and was perusing about and found these amongst many on parenthood. I think they are a cute look at life as I now know it.

"You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back." (this one just made me laugh..b/c it's true!)


"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." (I have read this one many times before, but never actually understood. But NOW:  I. get. it. wow.)


"When you have brought up kids, there are memories you store directly in your tear ducts." (i thought I cried alot before Joseph came along....ha!)


"Parenthood: That state of being better chaperoned than you were before marriage." (good grief!)


"There comes a time when a woman needs to stop thinking about her looks and focus her energies on raising her children. This time comes at the moment of conception. A child needs a role model, not a supermodel." (this was in reference to the "hot mom" trend. can i get an amen and THANK YOU to whoever said this!)
