Rose Quote #115

Quote from Rose in Second Motherhood

Blanche: Oh, girls, I'm just so glad you're still up. Wait till I tell you about my date!
Rose: Wait till I tell you about my discovery!
Dorothy: Let's hear it.
Rose: It came to me when I was enjoying my second cup of Ovaltine-
Blanche: Richard flew me to Atlanta for dinner in his private jet!
Dorothy: You're kidding.
Rose: -and that's when it hit me. We don't even need our sludge tube.
Dorothy: Rose.
Blanche: And then for dessert, he took me to this most romantic little bistro. And while the waiter was glazing my peaches, Richard leaned over and took my hand. And you know what he said?
Dorothy: What?
Rose: Our biggest worry will be tank sweat. [off Dorothy and Blanche's look] Sorry.

 ‘Second Motherhood’ Quotes

Quote from Dorothy

Blanche: Well, I just hate myself for feeling this way, but I don't want to be a mother again. I mean, it was a wonderful experience at the time, but I always thought this part of my life was supposed to be for me.
Dorothy: Honey, I understand exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. You know, at our age we should be grandmothers, not mothers. Once a week, the grandchildren come over for a visit. You cook them dinner, they spill it on the furniture. They hide under your bed. You hurt yourself looking for them. They ask you what those spots on your hands are. They tell you they love you and then just before total exhaustion sets in, they go home and become their mother's problems.

Quote from Dorothy
