Take it from me, parents just don't understand

I truly believe parents are nuts.

I think today’s parents are thinking way, way, way too much about giving their child a competitive edge.

Seriously, when I was in school, and one of the youngest with a Sept. 3 birthday, my best friend, Martha, was about 9 months older than me and 8 inches shorter.

Being tiny was awesome for her. Everybody always thought she was cute as a button.

And I had a high school friend with a November birthday who was confident, smart and popular. Did I mention tall?

Being tall was awesome for her.

Seriously, parents are nuts.
