HOW IT IS DONE<\/p>\n

Scene in library—gentleman busy writing—child enters:
\n\u201cFather, give me a penny.\u201d
\n\u201cHaven\u2019t got any—don\u2019t bother me.\u201d
\n\u201cBut, father, I want it—something particular.\u201d
\n\u201cI tell you I haven\u2019t got one about me.\u201d
\n\u201cI must have it!\u00a0 You promised me one.\u201d
\n\u201cI did no such thing!\u00a0 I won\u2019t give you any more pennies—you spend too many.\u00a0 It\u2019s all wrong.\u00a0 I won\u2019t give it to you; so go away!\u201d
\nChild begins to whimper.
\n\u201cI think you might give me one—it\u2019s real mean!\u201d
\n\u201cNo!\u00a0 Go away—I won\u2019t do it!\u00a0 So there\u2019s an end of it.\u201d
\nChild cries, teases, coaxes.\u00a0 Father gets out of patience, puts his hand in his pocket, takes out a penny and throws it at the child.
\n\u201cThere!\u00a0 Take it, and don\u2019t come back again today.\u201d
\nChild smiles, looks shy, and goes out conqueror, determined to continue the struggle in the afternoon, with the certainty of like results.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way, parents.\u00a0 Show your children by example that you are weak, undecided, and untruthful, and they learn aptly enough to despise your authority and regard your word as nothing.\u00a0 They graduate liars and mockers, and the reaping of your sowing will not fail.<\/p>\n

Quoted from the Woman\u2019s Exponent,\u00a0\u00a0 1 Sep 1872<\/p>\n

Our society hasn’t changed much. Have you noticed how many teenager \u00a0movies show parents who are weak, stupid, and oblivious?<\/p>\n
