Milton Berle copied me... I raised 3 kids and we see how busy our daughter is with 2 sweet little girls... I have often said, and I had not heard Berle’s quote, “If evolution were true, mothers would have 12 hands, and then the extra ones would fall off once the kids are grown up!” And my years as a stay at home mom, with 3 kids, were by far THE HAPPIEST YEARS OF MY LIFE!
They once asked an elderly couple who had been married 75 years, what were the happiest years of their marriage. Without hesitation they said when the kids were little. They said they put them in bed, and sat in their rocking chairs, and cracked open and ate roasted peanuts, and they KNEW THE KIDS WERE SAFE IN BED for the night.
I love that!
