Quote from Mike in Hecking Order
Mike: Would you say our parenting style is proactive, authoritative, or democratic? Frankie: Oh, no, no. You're trying to rope me in to doing it, and I'm not doing it. Not my homework. Mike: Aw! Come on. Frankie: Lonely at the top, isn't it, boss man? Mike: You know, Frankie, the truth is, the kids don't always listen to me either. Frankie: You're just saying that 'cause you're stuck on a question, but it's not gonna work. Mike: No, really. Axl is in his room right now eating a ham on his bed when I told him not to four times. Frankie: Oh, that's okay. We'll have the last laugh. I got it at the Frugal Hoosier. [laughs] That thing expired two days ago. [both laugh] Relaxed. Mike: Huh? Frankie: Our parenting style... Relaxed. Mike: Thanks. Try and work in the word "scaffolding" somewhere. I don't know what it is, but Mr. Wilkerson will like it.
