The Child is Father to the Man

...I understand that it means that Payton's childhood helps shape the man that he will become. But it's also literal for me since Payton told me today that I should not eat treats in front of him since he's not allowed to eat treats everyday, only once a week. And I make it hard for him not to stick to this rule, when I eat junk food. "OK, dad?" "Yes, Payton."
