" When you’re a child you believe your parents know a special truth about the world, that they know what is right, and that life unfolds in a predictable manner. “That understanding does not get shaken unless something very dramatic happens. Then you see your parents are fallible humans making imperfect choices given their circumstances. There are no crystal balls like the witch had. In truth we are all much more like the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. We are people pretending we have more skills than we do. "
