    It doesn’t make sense when you’re young … but the older you get, the more you realize that everyone is just making shit up as they go along.

    It’s made me realize after a long life that my parents were no smarter (or no dumber) than me.

    It’s just that as children, we look up to our parents and think that they should be smarter than everyone else but in reality, they never were. It doesn’t mean that they were dumb either … it’s just that people are people, including your parents.

      If people remembered their parents are people too, lots of shit would make sense pretty fast to everyone in the world
