Courter: Things I wish my kids would ask me

Editor’s note: Barry Courter has a 26-year-old son who is a college graduate and a 22-year-old daughter who is a college senior. Each week he poses a question he wishes they would ask.

Q: Dad, you know I didn’t always tell the whole truth about certain things, right?

A: Of course. It’s a parent’s best defense. Choosing to believe you and letting you believe that we believe you are perfect and infallible helps us both sleep better at night.
