Mother Quote by Mercy Celeste
““I think one of those old ladies down there gave me something. Which one looked guilty?” “Probably both of them. After all, my mother is a doctor and yours is a nurse. They’d have the nerve and the stuff to do it.” “Your mother is a kindly pediatrician, not a drug moll, so it had to be mine.” “I don’t know, Pepper. I have large chunks of my childhood missing thanks to her and her Benadryl supply.””
