I wouidn't have ta accept the neighbours kids birthday gift ta Johnny. .a box of toads. 1 wouldn't have ta worry about whether al my teachings would have the right effect, or wander if they'll turn inta decent kids or thugs. i wouldn't have ta worry about emotional scars caused by my insistence ta eat their cereal, wear a hat, shut the door and do your homework. i wouldn't have ta worry if i didn't have kids, but if I didn't have kids what would I compiain about?
