~Some people aren’t supposed to have children. I know this because I deal with these children, the ones the parent’s don’t want to deal with themselves. The difference is that I get paid and am able to send the little hellions home at the end of the day.
~Some things in life are inescapable. Children, lovers, family, memories. We have to deal with them, whether we want to or not, and the the manner of our “dealing” is the only recompense we can hope for. A situation may lack all logic or justice, but we must take whatever we get from Life’s grab-bag.
~I always hoped that my parents were wrong: that children can be ruled by kind fairness, by gaining their trust and compromising on both the child’s and the adult’s end. That isn’t always the case. I never wanted to admit that one does what one can and prays to God that He will compensate for one’s insufficiency.
~If you need humility, spend time with a child.
