A coworker asked about the Pinky and the Brain action figures that I obtained indirectly from my niece Kelly. Another commented that he prefered Ren and Stimpy. Given the ages of the coworkers, I asked the coworkers if they were comparing the two as a parent or an adolescent. The preference for R&S was an adolescent one, while P&B was a parental one. They agreed that would make a big difference. Parenthood – one of the defining moments of your life.
Having children means that not only do you find yourself saying the same things your parents did, but agreeing with the values expressed.
