Re: Gerard Q&A pt. II

Agreed. I'm a Stateside Brummie. I can't get past the feeling that it's an
intentional slap in the face for the decades I've supported the band. You
know, my two-year-old sometimes does things I don't like him to do, daring
me to take action. This morning, he looked me squarely in the face, and 
then
poured milk in my lap. On purpose.

I've watched Super Nanny though. And it turns out I'm not supposed to
encourage this behaviour. He's testing me, you see. If I let him, he'll 
pour
milk in my lap every morning, because it's fun to have control. But he's
looking for boundaries, so he can learn how to navigate the world for
himself. I'm supposed to tell him that pouring milk in my lap is
inappropriate.

You see where I'm going with this analogy, right?
