Christmas morning Quote by Sarah Alderson
““And finally it is Thursday and the day of my guitar lesson. I jump out of bed as though it’s Christmas morning and I am six years old and a child of the Brangelina. I am in front of the mirror fixing my make up when Brodie waltzes in and plonks herself on my bed. ‘Why do you look pretty?’ she asks.””
