If you have to ask permission from another adult,
They are either your parent, babysitter, teacher, jailer, or boss.
There are no exceptions, it applies to everyone at all times.
Let this become your credo.
Your window to reality at all times of life –
your ability to see yourself.
After all, to be henpecked or rooster-pecked for that matter,
Is surely a date with death.
It’s not nice to watch from afar either.
