[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 748521, member: 23727"] I'm having a sort of epiphany. I realize that we shouldn't try, or expect, to control things that we can't control. While my wife & I will try to be the best parents we can and give the best parently advice we can, Oldest & Youngest will do what they do and we must go with the flow. Back during the First Gulf War (i.e. Operation desert Shield in early 1991) when Saddam the Wicked was launching his 39 Scud rockets at us, a friend asked me one day if I was worried. I told her that I was more concerned that the chocolate chip cookies I had baked the day before had come out burnt. She looked at me, astonished. I told her that while I could control what happens to the cookies, I couldn't control where Saddam would drop his SCUDs, so I paid the latter no mind. I'm re-realizing this point. The secret of life is chocolate chip cookies [IMG]https://www.landolakes.com/RecipeManagementSystem/media/Recipe-Media-Files/Recipes/Retail/x17/18134-five-star-chocolate-chip-cookies-600x600.jpg?ext=.jpg[/IMG] . Go figure. [/QUOTE]
