  I like the part where he talks about how "stuff" isn't important. The time when he had just bought a new car and I think it was his sister's kid jumped in the car and scuffed the seat with his shoe - the mother told him to be careful not to scratch the seats.

  Randy promptly opens a can of drink and proceeds to pour it all over the back seat of his new car...emphasizing that it is just 'stuff' and he didn't want the kid to be told off for something so trivial.

  Perspective...

  • yes. i think he remembered from own experience how strong the impact of such situations can be to kids.invisiblechamber
  • not forgetting or devaluating the own phases of childhood and youth enables one to be a good teacher, too.invisiblechamber
