Recipe for a Perfect Kid

• 5 parts love
• 1 man
• 1 woman
• 10 parts patience
• 1 part discipline
• dash of humor
• pinch of kindness
• all of the knowledge you possess

Mix one man and one woman, preferably with all of the love in your possession. Wait nine months, remove according to package directions. Add patience as needed, fold in discipline. Note- do not beat, discipline will not work unless it's introduced gently. Sprinkle in a dash of humor if mixture seems to be messing up and a pinch of kindness when mixture begins to droop. Use knowledge at every step, moderated by a willingness to let the mixture grow and develop on its own. And finally, remember that perfection is in the eye of the beholder. No child is actually perfect, but with the right mix of ingredients they will be pretty close, especially to you.
