You're my boy, Supes, but seriously... what color is the sky in your world?
Man, I wish I could go back to the days when my son would only do what I tell him to do, and when I didn't have to worry about him completely disregarding all of the things that I've taught him not to do, like look up to ****heads like Barry Bonds. What you will, unfortunately, find as your daughter gets older (and especially if you have a son) is that sometimes kids do whatever the hell they want to, no matter how well they were raised.
I had the best parents a young man could ask for, and they did an exceptional job of raising me, but I still sometimes hung out with and/or looked up to people I shouldn't have, in spite of how I was raised. And the reason I did was because, like most other adolescents, I suffered from the delusion that I was smarter than my mom and dad, and knew better than they did what was best for me. So it's easy to say, in theory, that all you have to do is teach your kids not to look up to jackass athletes as role models, but it tends not to work out that way in practice Just look at some of these kids that have been caught juicing in the minor leagues: you don't think they got that idea from some big league players?
