Parental Uncertainty Principle
A teenager is like an electron. You can’t observe his or her behavior without changing it.
Wool-Gathering
Staring off into space. Navel gazing. Thinking.
Some call it wool-gathering, like it was a complete waste of time.

“Believing that it happened is not the same as believing that it happened for you.”
-Gene Schandorff
Courage is Faith
“What it takes for someone to stand his ground when he is scared to death is an act of faith. Faith is an act of surrender, not to the challenge, but to the spirit in whom we put our trust to face the challenge with us and to take care of us no matter the outcome.”
-Peter Dunne (Emotional Structure)
