As for the slightly glurgy framing of the message, I took it more as a veiled admonition to be more patient and understanding of my kids learning curve. After all, if I am patient and understanding with them when I could easily choose to allow myself to slip into anger, annoyance, and frustration then I'll just be modelling those skills to them, for them to use when I become an old, frustrating and annoying old codger.

Or should that be now that I am an old, frustrating and annoying old codger.

Who repeats himself.

And another thing, by the time your kids read that message, it's probably way too late.

And get the hell off my lawn.

THIS!!! Call me when the 'shuttle lands.' Jesus Christ...
