The ones that you ought not to ignore but think ‘Really, right now- as you are to be going to bed???? ‘I have to check myself and put things in a little perspective at these moments. Yes, your son or daughter MAY be trying to stay up late but really it’s ok- they want to know what you think about God, or creation , or love , or anger or fear.
