"A Little Girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth, she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes.
A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot...
God borrows from many creatures to make a little girl. He uses the song of a bird, the squel of a pig, the stubbornness of a mule, the antics of a monkey, the spryness of a grasshopper, the curiosity of a cat, the speed of a gazelle, the slyness of a fox, the softness of a kitten, and to top it all off He adds the mysterious mind of a woman.
A little girl...is loudest when you are thinking, the prettiest when she has provoked you, the busiest at bedtime, the quietest when you want to show her off, and the most flirtatious when she absolutely must not get the best of you again.
Little girls are born with a bit of angelshine about them, and though it wears thin sometimes, there is always enough to lasso your heart." - Alan Beck
