Normally, my ninth-grade son walks from the high school and guides her home. However, he has arranged for after-school activity on Mondays, the day in question. I could ride my bike, daddy. That way you wouldn t have to worry about anyone meeting me after school. First, let s examine that statement from a paranoid parent s point of view.
Parental logic dictates one always worries about children.
Parents only exchange types of worries. Worries are never dissipated, never are extinguished and never disappear. They are durable and as lasting as diamonds. Unlike diamonds, worries do not sparkle and shine. As if programmed to respond.
