STRAY THOUGHTS ON PARENTS
Parents are always saying that they once were children too, but they give no signs of it.
It is a peculiarity of parents that they always want you to change your boots.
Parents have several set forms of speech, of which “You seem to think I’m made of money” is one, and “I never did that when I was your age” is another. They also wonder “What the world is coming to.”
Parents live in houses, usually in the best rooms. They can’t bear doors either to be left open or shut with a bang.
