‘Twas Ever Thus

            It’s impossible for a child to outgrow one parental worry without growing into another.  Consider the following:

            Old worry:  2 a. m. Feedings

            New worry:  2 a.m. dates

            Old worry:  Child will never graduate from high school

            New worry:  Child will want to go to Harvard

            Old worry:  All too soon he will grow up and leave home

            New worry:  He won’t - Mike Harden in Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch
