This is good parenting advice as well
Best teaching advice I’ve ever received:
(1) Don’t make a promise you can’t keep. [Whether threat or gift.]
(2) Don’t be an asshole.

This also fails as "jokes" because he wither jokes about doing something that is already fairly standard and non-controversial in many places (lay readers, even women ones, slightly more modern architecture like minimized icon walls)

The problem with this kind of reasoning is that numerous metaphors are possible and identifying the right one in these terms is impossible. What if I said the female diaconate is actually a profound image of marriage, as the deacon is the helper to the priest just as wife is helper to husband?

I’m prickly about this because I see the substitution of metaphor for reasoning as the overwhelming pattern of lazy thinking within Catholic discourse. Actions are described in terms of a metaphor, and then the (never stated) idea that one must act l so as to uphold the metaphor supplies the rest

this is also the theory behind Mo Willems' children's books
“People think, ‘Hey, I love kids, I want to write children’s books.’ But they think children are happy. That’s their first mistake.”

You also just forget most of the bad stuff! This is a post I see a lot- It's magic for kids when it's magic, but also being a kid isn't *just* magic it's having a 30 minute tantrum because you and your sibling got the same toy but yours is a different color (which you picked out)
