Heh.

Remember being an adult, nearby to an adolescent who is trying to cope
with the first bits of personal freedom?

One tells them, "If you ever want to say no but are afraid to be
'uncool', then you have my full permission to say no because "my
<close relative> will just *kill* me if I do" ... and blame it on me,
and I'll back you up on it"

Hmmm ... what if *both* of us are vandolescents ... ?!?!?
