The Idealist Son: When I grow up. I'll never be like you. I'll never join a country club or play golf or ignore poverty or listen to Sinatra. Father: Of course you will! Son: No, I'll still wear black jeans and listen to punk rock and use sarcasm and despise hypocrisy and stay out late and cut off my nose to spite my face. Father: No one can resist the social pressure to act older as they become older... you, of all people don't have a fraction of the will required to remain young inside. You'll cave just like everyone else! Significantly later: Son: Check me out I' mthe same as when I was young! Father: You're pathetic.
