Magnet from the Irish Festival

last quote I have saved up, quoted by another mama to our online group:

Three Wise Women

would have…

Asked directions,
Arrived on time,
Helped deliver the baby,
Cleaned the stable,
Made casserole,
Brought practical gifts, and
There would be peace on Earth.

Be like the moon

Another quote I found:
Be like the moon, it is always giving never a cause of complaint, always brings happiness

Dragons

“What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.”
(Chesterton, The Red Angel)

Which is ofted quoted as: “Fairy tales do not teach children that dragons exist. Children already know dragons exist. Fairy tales teach children that dragons can be killed.”
