Quote by Wil Anderson

“There's no doubt in my mind that being a parent is the hardest job in the world. Maybe we should have higher standards. Everyone accepts without question that you have to pass a test to drive a car, but any idiot can do the most important job of all – raise another human being.”

He gave him a bottle of orange and said, 'Don't get your feelings hurt, Sonny. I start off with the very highest opinion of everybody, so I have to think less of them with everything they say.
