Abstract

Knowing that your kid thinks you can move mountains is a good feeling. They believe in us more than we used to believe in ourselves after six shots of Fireball at a college party, and that's saying something. No matter what problem comes up, they think we can fix it, whether it's making their ouchies better with the healing powers of our kisses or ridding their room of monsters with magic swords. There are times, though, when they drastically overestimate our abilities to the point that we almost wish that they weren't so confident in us.
