95. Perhaps you've never had children?

If you have had children, can you not remember a time when a child begged for a popular toy, played with it once or twice and then discarded it? Or found that it was not quite as exciting as the tv commercials made it seem? Children can derive great joy from, for example, an old book that costs next to nothing. I myself remember fondly being read to by my mother or father from just such a book and have passed along similar memories. Children get sad over a lot of things - not being allowed to have dessert, not being allowed to stay up as late they want to, etc. Part of having children is being able to live with that short term sadness on a pretty regular basis in service of the greater good. I think they will appreciate that more in the long run when they get older.
