a fearsome thing to behold
Pride and Prejudice (2005) movie quote:- Mr. Bingley: Well, I think it's amazing that you young ladies have the patience to become so accomplished.
- Miss Bingley: Whatever can you mean, Charles?
- Mr. Bingley: You all paint tables, and play the piano, and embroider cushions! I never heard of lady but people say she is accomplished.
- Mr. Darcy: Indeed, the word is applied too liberally. I cannot boast of knowing more than half a dozen young women in all my aquaintence who are truly accomplished.
- Elizabeth Bennet: My goodness, you must comprehend a great deal of the word.
- Miss Bingley: Indeed; she must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and all the modern languages to deserve the word. And something about her air, and manner of walking....
- Mr. Darcy: And, of course, she must improve her mind with extensive reading.
- Elizabeth Bennet: I am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women, I now wonder at your knowing any.
- Mr. Darcy: Are you so severe on your own sex?"
- Elizabeth Bennet: I never saw such a woman. Surely she would be a fearsome thing to behold.

confidence boost
I was shopping a few weeks ago and this little girl was sitting in her mom's cart, eyeing me as I considered two different snowboard jackets. Then from behind me pipped up this little voice...
Her: I like your dress
Me: Oh, well thank you. I like your dress!
(silence...her mom starts to wheel her away)
Her: A-and, aaaand, I like your purse a-and I like your hair
Me: Goodness, thank you.
What a confidence boost that random little 4 year old was!

well hello sassy
Quotes from a four year old client (over one session mind you)
Her: "Your hair wet"
Me: "No it's not"
Her: "Uh...yes it is"
Her: "Why is your dress green?"
Me: "Because green is my favorite color"
Her: "Hmm..."
Her: "Try again...K-AY-K, Cake..."
Me: "Nooo, you try again. You say it. Tate"
Her: "I want the green one, you want a red one"
Me: "Actually, I want a blue one"
Her: "No, you want the red one"
Her: "I want the caterpillar game"
Me: "I don't have the caterpillar game today"
Her: "Yes you do, I saw it"
Me: "Do you want to play with the elephant or the monkeys?"
Her: "I want the elephant"
Me: "Alright"
Her: "No, I said the monkeys"
Me: "Okay"
Her: "No I want the elephant"
Me: "Okay"
Her: "No, I said I want the monkeys
Well hello sassy, I didn't know YOU were coming to therapy today
