The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
