Quote from Mark Twain

"The most effective way to deal with them is to place them in a wooden pickle barrel on their 13th birthday, nail the lid on the barrel and feed them through a knot hole." --Mark Twain

The Father of a Teenager

Legend has it that one day Peter passed by a blind man and healed him.  He later saw a demon-possessed man and set him free.  Then he saw a man crying, and asked about his problem.  The man said he was a father of a teenager.  All Peter could do was sit down and weep with him.
