Inherently Fallible

"We've talked about this."

There is a maddening truth that only parents know about the unsolicited advice we offer our children. No matter how many golden nuggets of wisdom you give them along the way, it seems to mystically pass through one ear and out the other, lost in their internal hard drive and often followed by the infamous eye roll. That is, of course, until they get the same advice from someone else. It could be a friend, teacher, relative, boss, whomever, and it's as if they have never heard it before. That thing you may have said a thousand times is now their new religion because of an experience they had or something they heard from another person. That was the catalyst for this book: creating a tangible reference of life lessons for my children, a culmination of the things I have shared (or wanted to share) while preventing someone else from stealing my glory.
