“I am not allowed to be afraid. My mother made me like that. As a child, if I was afraid of the dark, she would lock me in the closet. Things like this. And she would talk about the time she spent in the concentration camp, but not about being afraid, only about the good side of it.” IfsChildrenMadeMotherSidesDarkConcentrationCampsLocksClosetsBeing AfraidConcentration Camp Author:Diane von Furstenberg
“I was a closet pacifier advocate. So were most of my friends. Unknown to our mothers, we owned thirty or forty of those little suckers that were placed strategically around the house so a cry could be silenced in less than thirty seconds. Even though bottles were boiled, rooms disinfected, and germs fought one on one, no one seemed to care where the pacifier had been.” LittlesCareMotherHouseRoomsCryMy FriendsThirtyFortyBottlesSecondsClosetsSuckerGermsOne On OnePacifiers Book:Motherhood: The Second Oldest Profession Source: Motherhood: The Second Oldest Profession
