I think the main thing is trying to be fair, sometimes there has to be a little bit of discipline, maybe even punishment involved in trying to make your child understand, learn from bad experiences and make sure they don't happen again.
Sometimes you gotta mess up a little bit to wake up
You can't be 100% perfect, but try to evaluate things and do what's right. If you just make every effort to do the right thing, you'll come out ok. It comes down to priorities and making good decisions.
He'll be a real good player for Arkansas. He's savvy and has a great cerebral approach to the game.

New Orleans is just a doggone fun place to be.
