Time: the line between freedom and responsibility
Daughter:
When I get old, will I get the whole candy bar to myself?
Can I stay up late and watch TV?
Can I drive a car anywhere I want to go?
When I get grown, can I do anything I want? Will I be free?
Father:
Two pieces of chocolate is just as sweet,
The 'limited' TV you watch is beyond the past's wildest dreams,
You get to sleep for hours instead of looking at screens,
You'll be able to drive anywhere but mostly for work and to buy things,
When you grow up, I hope you have a kid like you, and are as blessed as me!
