“Remember
how your child used to be? ‘Now, Johnny, take my hand while we cross the
street.’ And 4-year old Johnny would dutifully take your hand and say, happily,
‘Ok, daddy!’ Ten, twelve years down the line that compliance thing will go into
what you might call an extended eclipse. That very same Johnny, now a teenager,
one day is going to say to you, ‘I don’t care whatever else you do, just don’t
play any of that dorkey music of yours when my friends are around.’ Only he may
use a far less PG word than ‘dorky.’ That’s just the way they’re wired. Be
ready for it.” – Arnold Kunst
