“We've got a pretty close family. Just ended fourteen years of travel hockey with two boys. My daughter was always a part of that. So there's a lot of trips to the hockey games. As I tell idiotic, stupid, youth-sport parents, it's about the drive there and the drive back, not about the trophy or how your kid played. We've always had a good relationship with our kids. You're driving with them and talking to them at the age of eight. It became this adventure and they learned to love it. You connect, you really do. It's not for every family.” YearsTwoKidsAgeGamesSportsParentTalkingBoysStupidYouthAdventureDaughterEightDrivingMy DaughterHockeyFourteenTrophiesIdioticGood RelationshipYouth SportsClose Family Author:Jeff Daniels
“I think for my parents it was like "A Boy Named Sue," the Johnny Cash song. A guy named Sue tries to track down his father to take it out on his father for naming him Sue. And his father says, "Look, I knew I wasn't going to be around. So I gave you the name so that you would grow up strong enough to take the hits and fight back." So I like to believe that's why my parents gave me this stupid name.” ThinkingTryingBelieveLooksEnoughGuySongFightingFatherNamesStrongGrowsParentBoysGrowing UpStupidTrackCashStrong EnoughLike A Boy Author:Domhnall Gleeson

“You can't write a children's book that takes more than five or six minutes to read, because it will drive the parents batty. It has to be compact.
