And thinking about the Golden Ticket, I have to remember what my mom said (maybe I shared this before, I don't remember.) Anyway, I was wondering about some small detail of parenting a toddler and my mother said very cheerfully, "Well, I've tried it both ways and what I remember was that no matter what I did it was wrong!" She is not a pessimist and her kids all turned out fine. I think her point was, don't get too worried about details, kids are resiliant. I find myself repeating this phrase when I'm getting caught up in the details. Even it it's not great, we can recover. I mean, even Verucka got dejuiced, right?
