Parenting Quote by Maurice Mességué

““Peasants seldom write letters, and for my father the arrival of a letter was an important ceremony that entailed quite a ritual: the glass of wine for the postman, the close scrutiny of his name on the envelope—mistakes can happen, and you must never open a letter that isn’t addressed to you—and then the blade of the knife carefully inserted to liberate whatever the fates had in store.””
