• Kids have *_____ never* taken guidance from their parents. If you could travel back in time and observe the original primate family in the original tree, you would see the primate parents yelling at the primate teenager for sitting around and sulking all day instead of hunting for grubs and berries like dad primate. Then you'd see the primate teenager stomp up to his branch and slam the leaves.

• Nobody is excused from the excellence trend. Babies are not excused. Starting right after they get out of the womb, modern babies are exposed to instructional flashcards designed to make them the best babies they can possibly be, so they can get into today's competitive preschools. Your eighties baby sees so many flashcards that he never gets an unobstructed view of his parents' faces. As an adult, he'll carry around a little wallet card that says "7x9=63," because it will remind him of mother.

• Si eres como la mayoría de los miembros de la generación del Baby Boom, en algún momento, probablemente después de cuatro margaritas, decidiste tener hijos. Era inevitable.

• You kids have fun, and be home by Thanksgiving!" our parents would call to us on Halloween night, as we staggered out the front door, weighed down by hundreds of pounds of concealed vandalism supplies, including enough raw eggs to feed Somalia for decades. By morning, thanks to our efforts, the entire neighborhood would be covered with a layer of congealed shaving cream and toilet paper that, around certain unpopular neighbors' homes, was hundreds of feet thick. This is how the Appalachian Mountains were formed.

• Aunque una feria de ciencias puede parecer un gran "coñazo", puede ayudarte a comprender importantes principios científicos, como la Primera Ley de la Inercia de Newton, que afirma: "Un cuerpo en reposo permanecerá en reposo hasta las 8:45 p.m. de la noche anterior a la fecha de entrega del proyecto de la feria de ciencias, momento en el cual el cuerpo vendrá corriendo hacia los padres del cuerpo, que ya están en pijama, y gritará: "¡Acabo de RECORDAR QUE LA FERIA DE CIENCIAS ES MAÑANA Y TENEMOS QUE IR A LA TIENDA AHORA MISMO!"".

• My theory is that there is a finite amount of intelligence in a family, and you're supposed to gradually transfer it to your children over a period of many years. This is why your parents started to get so stupid just at the time in your life when you were getting really smart.

• But from the perspective of the aging parent, there is no major difference between four and fifteen, except that when your child is four, his motoring privileges are restricted to little toy Fisher-Price vehicles which are unlikely (although I would not totally rule it out in America) to sue you.
