Young Wisdom

"I have good kids.

Strong kids.

One is strong enough to endure what she cannot understand, to take her lumps as they’re given and then get up and play and laugh and dream afterward.

The other is strong enough to know that sometimes having the right and the freedom to do something doesn’t mean you should."
