Parental Wisdom from Penny Arcade:
"I’m sensitive to the idea and perhaps the literal truth that raising children is impossible. You don’t get absolute control over the inputs. But that’s not the same as no control, and if you can’t be bothered to craft the context in which the beings you create can understand the world - that’s not being powerless, that’s ceding power. It’s surprising how often people confuse the two, but I understand why. Without agency, you can’t accrue consequence. No, I get it." Tanner J

""What is your most prized possession? A book? A work of art from your dear friend? A piece of Grandma's jewelry? Uncle Bob's truck? A picture of your favorite holiday? A letter from Dad?  Think. Think how much you appreciate having that. It's a gift that you cherish. To you, no matter what its price tag might be, it's invaluable. It's precious. It's priceless. Well, there ya go! What's under your clothing is ever so much more valuable and priceless than any article!" Karen D
