Growing up in an Italian family, you use a harsh tone and 10 minutes later everybody forgets about it.
I've often said that the most important thing you can give your children is wings. Because, you're not gonna always be able to bring food to the nest. You're... sometimes... they're gonna have to be able to fly by themselves.
