“Being a mother is like trying to hold a wolf by the ears,â€ Gram said. â€œIf you have three or four â€“or more â€“ chickabiddies, youâ€™re dancing on a hot griddle all the time. You donâ€™t have time to think about anything else. And if youâ€™ve only got one or two, itâ€™s almost harder. You have room left over â€“ empty spaces that you think youâ€™ve got to fill up.”
