Selective Sources

Day 43:

I recall as a kid resisting things my parents would tell me. But when that same information came from someone else, I seemed to have had no problem accepting it. It’s fascinating how young people seem to know everything while their parents know next to not much.

Today I found out that I was recently a secondary source of the same information. You know, that information that was first given by a parent.

It feels kinda funny. Makes me wonder what it’ll feel like when I’m the parent figure in this scenario.

Today I learned that at least part of being a parent must include telling you kid(s) stuff you know they won’t listen to, but doing it anyways because…because....I don’t know why – guess I’ll learn that when I’m a parent.
