QUOTE : There’s something completely unnerving about seeing your parents<br />upset. I suppose it’s because they’re supposed to be the strong ones, but<br />that’s not just it. Ever since people are kids they use their parents as some<br />sort of measurement for how bad a situation is. When you fall on the ground<br />really hard and you can’t figure out whether it hurts or not you look to your<br />parents. If they look worried and rush toward you, you cry. If they laugh and<br />smack the ground saying “Bold ground,” then you pick yourself up and get<br />on with it.
