Politics doesn't have anything to do with success in raising kids, Gramps. Citizen loves to bait people with stuff like that. He was just having fun. And so I gave him what he wanted: attention. I did it the best way I could. He made up a story to give back to me rather than admit that all it takes to raise good kids is good parenting, but that's okay too. I wasn't the best parent in the world (tended to "be there" a little too much), but I gave it 110%. And I could end up with a vagabond child too (my kids are barely out of the nest, so who knows?), but it'll be one with a degree. My point to Citizen was that his premise was flawed. You and I agree that it is, and of course Citizen agrees too although he won't admit it because he doesn't like me much. And that's okay too.
I don't care if you wear a different colored political jersy than me, Gramps. I think you are wise and one of the "greats" here on PJ.
