Discuss reasons for appreciating your parents

"Alice, do you appreciate your parents?"
"Yes. They support me, clothe me, feed me and protect me."
"Well, what else?"
"They are the only ones who will show me love when I feel the world is against me. They wont treat me as an outcast because I know they care and I know I have their support."
"That's crap."
"It is not."
"What do you appreciate?"
"I appreciate their vehemence to guide me and my brother on the right path. Setting us straight and with a head start! They work hard for our well being and we even have great times too."
"I see. The choice of words means you care a lot."
"Of course."
"Then do you also appreciate the strict rules?"
"How can I not? I'm much more organized that way. My mindset is focused."
"But, what if they reduce television time?"
"That's great. I can read a newspaper. Learn about whats happening in the world or I can go out and play--stay active."
"But, Alice! Seriously?"
"Sorry, Judy. But you're five and I'm 17. There is a HUGE maturity gap there."
"This is utter bull crap!"
"This is why parents set restrictions on t.v."
"Well! I was bound to say that anyways."
"Well, hope it doesn't slip out of your mouth in the presence of a higher figure."
"Like who!"
"Oh...I don't know. Maybe people who judge CHARACTER, intelligence, and appearance."
"Oh..."
"Mhm."
