We used to be a village, correcting children so they’ll be good. Now you try correcting obnoxious children & see how fast entitled parents come after you.
And they have their mother’s wise-ass sense of humor.
But, I love ‘em anyway. 😁
This is why starting Star Trek TNG with the notion that Picard was a great guy, but that he “disliked kids” (asking Riker to cover him in this regard), was really bizarre and lazy writing.
