"My parents allowed me to fall backwards so……" — Ash Sweeney
"My parents allowed me to fall backwards so that I could learn how to sit. They allowed me to toddle so that I could walk. She taught me independence when the sources of that milk were withdrawn. They communicate with me so that I could be heard. They taught me morals so that I could be social. They taught me religion so that I could pray."
