Gary Smalley and John Trent, Husbands and Wives . Grownups make promises, then they forget all about them, or else they say it wasn't really a promise, just a maybe. 2.

Grownups interrupt children all the time and think nothing of it.
If a child interrupts a grownup, he gets a scolding or something worse. Sometimes grownups punish children unfairly. It isn't right if you've done just some little thing wrong and grownups take away something that means an awful lot to you. Other times you can do something really bad and they say they're going to punish you, but they don't. You never know, and you ought to know.
