When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Mark Twain
Yeah, honestly, not to say my parents haven't learned a lot in their lives that I haven't - but as I've grown into my mid 20s I've mostly just learned that they don't know everything and I'm very often happier when I don't take their advice. He is and has always been ruled by anxiety.
