Children don't come with user manuals.

One of my favourite little sayings: When you kids were born, you didn't come with a manual. No user's guide, no on-line help. I've used that one more than once with my children.
So I used it once again last week (twice actually) and both my daughters came back with the same response: "All of us are different, so you would need a different manual for each of us."
Ho Boy. I could say "out of the mouths of babes", but they are not teens anymore. It's fascinating to me that they independently came up with an identical response.
So - maybe a single manual would have been OK for both of them? Nah.
