Well put.

I don't know how I'm going to handle it when the Wonder Twins get to college. Intellectually, I know that my job is to prepare them to make good decisions. Emotionally, I want to protect them from bad things. When I was in college I made all sorts of stupid decisions -- I'm lucky I didn't die of an overdose or STD. I thought I was having fun. Later I learned that there's a difference between fun and happiness. They often overlap, but not everything that's fun will make you happy. And not everything that will make you happy will be fun.
