Reply #72: Well, I reread what the quote said

including the reference to the sister.

I'm still coming away with the same idea. The sister said that she didn't truly understand her parents advice until she was 20, and then things became clearer. I know that was true for me. When I was a teenager, esp when I was in my late teens, the last thing I wanted to do was what my parents said. But when I was around 20ish, I started to realize that they were right on a lot of stuff.

I think you're reading into this waaaay too much.

edited to add: okay, now I get what you're saying from reading your other posts.
