•What kind of nuts is the world

Why. are 14 -year. -old daughters
so dreadful? They . are sullen,
Sulky, stubborn, slouchy, grouchy,

They weep wildly, at the: ,slightest
admonition... 4
Why are 14 -year-old daughters
so; wonderful.? (This is the next
day.) - They .• are:' sunshine, not

hopeless.' They are sweet and
shy and . funny and full of vitali-
ty and eager to learn. and ideal-

did to.'deserve such a •bundle, of
blessedness.
Why ' do ' ' 17 -year-old, sons think
their parents should. be put in
wheelchairs . and trundled off to ari
institution for the ;feeble-minded:?
And why .do they 'get that 'long-
suffering look when • dad is telling
them something extremely import-

in school?' And wily- do they.'laugh,,
tolerantly whe& mother, whom
they tower • over, is dispensing'
pearls of wisdom; like if .you don't
