Adolescence

growing up, maturing, aging

 

Nobody.

I dunno.

Not me.

The ghosts of my childhood.

Hidden gremlins of ethics,

The malevolence ensues.

We are blamed for deceit.

Our parents never believed.

As i aged,

I gained wisdom

And the belief faded.

Only to reappear

In my children's

Words...

It does seem to be a reacuring theme in parent/child relationships, we learn from our parents victories and from their mistakes to hopefully make things easier for our children even if sometimes it doesn't seem they are listening...they are storing data.
