Patience never saw a baby that didn't eventually learn how to walk, how to talk. but I have seen, still do, children who became adults, but not grownups, still ******* their thumbs. don't blame the parents. don't blame the child. don't blame the idiotcreators, pseudo-educators. blame me. always take the easiest course when assigning blame. Yet cherish them tho oft they err, have we not all, stumbled and extended hand beseeching help? let us learn for they, my blood one and all, and I call them by one name, each and every, Mine. ------------------------ Hint: if you are thinking of taking your parents along for your ride, read this. Better yet, give it to them. "And she taught me that my children are not truly mine. They don’t belong to me; they’ve simply been entrusted to me. They are a gift life gave to me, but one that I must one day give back to life. They must grow up and go away and that is as it should be." Charles M. Blow
