She said she had learned it when she was in college in the early 40s.

My step-mom knew it too but never mentioned when or where she learned it. Both went to college to become teachers with my step-mom probably around 7 yrs after my MIL.

Thanks for the early morning happy memories and smile.

One of my favorite poets.

I stand corrected, it's not Nash. It was just popularly attributed to him.

How about that.

it's written by that famous author: Anonymous
