Bears Need People. People Need

A Younger Sister Is Someone To Use As A Guinea-pig In Trying Sledges And Experimental Go-carts. Someone To Send On Messages To Mum. But Someone Who Needs You - Who Comes To You With Bumped Heads, Grazed Knees, Tales Of Persecution. Someone Who Trusts You To Defend Her. Someone Who Thinks You Know The Answers To Almost Everything.

Kittens Are Wide-eyed, Soft And Sweet. With Needles In Their Jaws And Feet.

You Are Asleep. Deep, Deep Asleep - And Then The World Caves In. The Cat Has Leapt From The Top Window Onto Your Stomach. He Is Saturated. He Is Hungry. He Taps You Into Full Wakefulness With A Sodden Paw "could You Open A Can?"

If Your Sister Is In A Tearing Hurry To Go Out And Cannot Catch Your Eye, She's Wearing Your Best Sweater.

For The Sake Of The Sons - And Even For The Son's Future Wives - A Woman Must Keep A Part Of Her Mind And Heart Entirely For Herself. Every Family Is Better Off With A Wife And Mother Who Can Astonish And Occasionally Dewilder.
