God Bless and keep good Christian parents. Mine should have just shot me. Try and remember:

Bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is OLD, he will not depart from it.

To me, OLD is the operative word, and the key to this scripture. JL

I also recall something about an ungrateful child being sharper than a serpent's tooth...

"OLD is the operative word, and the key to this scripture"

That qualifier always kinda bothered me. I always wnated it to read more like "more mature" or even "older." I guess it just goes to show how long-lived our "childishness" can be.
