Do You Remember When?

April 4th, 2007 by Manchild

Today’s post is also from the “Children’s Ten Commandments for Parents,” by Mr. Kevin Lehman as quoted in “Dear Abby,” Independent Press Telegram, January 12, 1981.

Commandment #1: “My hands are small; please don’t expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball. My legs are short; slow down so that I can keep up with you.”

Commandment #2: “My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; let me explore it safely; don’t restrict me unnecessarily.”

My legs are short; slow down so that I can keep up with you.” [...]
