Parents Mean Well, but ...

“I guess that is what usually happens to parents.  When you’re born they have to do your thinking for you because you can’t do too much of that yourself, and then they get into the habit.  They keep trying to think for you practically all your life.”  Banana Blitz, Florence Parry Heidi, 1983

“About what’s wrong with grown-ups … is that they think they know all the answers.”  The Changeling, Zilpha Keatley Snyder, 1970
