-If you want attention and compliments, wear a big fuzzy hat.
-Don't worry about any mistake that can be corrected for 20 dollars or less.
-To be a more casual, more effective parent: pretend that your children are nieces, or sons of a friend, that you somehow inherited. You'll still care, but will feel less pressure.
-To be better to the old: pretend they are all your grandparents.
-Do not be fooled by what other generations deem indispensable.
-Don't be upset over names or words that you can never remember. Maybe you're not supposed to know those things.
-Don't read articles about diseases. Wait until you get them, and they give you the pamphlets.
