Being Good is Hard Sometimes

[out of the blue]

"Mummy, I try to be good at school."

"That's very good, well done."

"It's quite difficult to be good at school though."

"Why?"

"Because you have to do what the teacher says and you're not allowed to do what you want."

"Yes, that's true."

"And you have to play for a little while but you're not allowed to play for a long while."

Welcome to the world, son.
