“The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.”
– Edward, Duke of Windsor
Children, to those brave souls who have them, are angelic, rosy-cheeked nymphs who bring joy and happiness to their everyday lives. To those of us who’ve decided NOT to propagate, they appear to be the devil incarnate. Okay, that may be pushing the envelope a bit; depending on the place, situation, tidal projections, and lunar cycle, they CAN be tolerated. Unfortunately, bad manners are inherited more often than not, which means when parents act like Neanderthals, their offspring imitate the same knuckle-dragging conduct.
