Quotes from Babs H. Deal

My God, she thought. You scare them when you do that. You're scaring them. We scare all our children to death before they know what fear is, and they think we're playing games with them. We grab at them and yell, I gotcha. And they repay us with shrieks of laughter, and we never consider that it is hysteria. She realized she was praying an insane litany. Please don't let anyone say, I gotcha. Please, God, don't let anyone say, Peekaboo.
