Let The Training Begin

On MLS's advice, I've been doing some reading on the elderly species known as "parents".  Apparently, they take about 2 years to break in, so these first couple years are the toughest.  But according to my readings, "The parental psyche is geared to dominate and control their offspring.  It may take years of hard work and compassionate training to mold them into the easily controllable push-overs they should be."  This doesn't sound very kind to me....after all Mama worked very hard to bring me into this world, and Dada is so kind and "JD!  STOP THAT TALK AT ONCE!  REMEMBER THE MISSION!"  Sorry MLS. :(  I'll get more wise and devious like you, I promise!
