“There is no quality of the mind, or of the body, that so instantaneously and irresistibly captivates, as wit. An elegant writer has observed that wit may do very well for a mistress, but that he should prefer reason for a wife.

“The best thing about Sassy Seats is that grandmothers cannot figure out how they work and are in constant fear of the child's falling. This often makes them forget to comment on other aspects of the child's development, like why he is not yet talking or is still wearing diapers. Some grandmothers will spend an entire meal peering beneath the table and saying, "Is that thing steady?" rather than, "Have you had a doctor look at that left hand?” LooksChildrenStillsHandsFallLeftForgetTalkingFiguresDevelopmentAspectDoctorsTablesConstantBest ThingsMealsSeatsGrandmotherCommentSteadySassyDiapersLeft Hand Book:Living Out Loud Source: Living Out Loud
