Little Bo Peep's Mother

Little Bo Peep's Mother is the mother of Little Bo Peep. An experienced shepherdess, she is unable to walk one morning because of her legs. Her daughter Little Bo Peep insists she stays home and lets her walk the sheep herself, in which she responds, "In all my years of tending sheep, I've never gotten to know them.", in turn, which her own daughter responds that she knows all about sheep. When Bo Peep returns home that evening, she gives her daughter the advice of "Leave them alone, and they'll come home, wagging their tails behind them."
