Grownups don't do the things they're always telling the children to do - like pick up their things or be neat, or always tell the truth. Grownups never really listen to what children have to say. They always decide ahead of time what they're going to answer. Grownups make mistakes, but they won't admit them. They always pretend that they weren't mistakes at all - or that somebody else made them.
Grownups interrupt children all the time and think nothing of it.
If a child interrups a grownup, he gets a scolding or something worse. Grownups are always talking about what they did and what they knew when they were 10 years old - but they never try to think what its like to be 10 years old right now. My friends, we must keep in mind that the stakes are high. These are our children. We don't have them for very long.
