So...I'm not a parent, but i will say that my brothers and their spouses are damn good ones.

what my dad told me: hey, they can kill you, but they can't eat you.

mom was more subtle, but besides the joking that i could marry a rich guy as easily as i could a poor one (knowing i'm a sucker for starving artist types) she mostly was pithy about independence and self-sufficiency. And she learned those values from my grandma.
