Are you old enough (don't answer , rhetorical) to remember the
grasshopper/ant cartoon where the g'hopper goes around singin' "Oh the world
owes me a livin' "? The kids these days have been indoctrinated to expect
that . From Big Brother spit .

I don't ever tell the kids that they owe me anything other than
respect and that they must respect the family.

I was hoping they'd figure out how to help out on their own.
