    “The parent in charge is the disciplinarian.... I do not believe in letting discipline wait for another parent to handle it, nor do I think the father or mother should be allowed to become a shadowy figure who walks in the door and has to play the bad guy in the house.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    “In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
