Remember teenage angst? The eye-rolling, the “you just don’t understand!” phase? Well, guess what, they did understand. Parents, bless their cotton socks, are like walking, talking encyclopedias of life lessons, disguised as nagging. They’ve navigated relationship rollercoasters, career car crashes, and probably even survived disco. Before Google, there was Mom asking, “Did you eat your vegetables?” Turns out, she wasn’t just being annoying; she was dispensing wisdom! So, next time they offer advice (even if it’s about your questionable sock choices), lean in. They might just save you from a future fashion faux pas or, you know, something actually important. Give them a call – they’ve earned the right to say “I told you so,” and maybe, just maybe, they were right all along.
