Mother Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or rooney:

“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)

“A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I’m about $100,000 short.”
—Mickey Rooney (b. 1920)
