child

Apparently younger generation in educational system are panic about jobs and what’s gonna happen out there. They get freaked out, cause all the exams, stress, all that curriculum stuff.

Reason that teenagers don't listen to fathers is because to them, fathers are not even considered people in families. They’re not. A big force, Yes? They maybe elemental force, but not person.

Teenage daughter, that's something a man will never be able get himself ready for. A friend of mine told me that his teenage daughter will take the time -- that’s the nice thing yeah? -- she will take the time to sit down besides him and go “Errr, you’ve got hair in your ear~ You couldn’t get any more disgusting, but you did. Ah~ Here, I’m going to take a selfie of your ear, look at that... look at the peach bump on your head.”

The other thing about pets in kids life is that, it's the way they get to learn about grief. That’s another function of pets. It's the truth, of course. When you open the door of a pet shop, really what you’re saying to your kids is “Which thing that dies do you want?” That’s the truth.

Look, there’s something going on, right now, in the world, yeah! I think that guys are changing. You'll find loads of them here in Sydney, and in fact loads of them all around the world. You know when I look at these guys, the idea just constantly in my mind that they don't want grow up. Cause they're wearing children's clothes. Loads of these guys, they’re in their 30s and 40s, shuffling around, in T-shirts, zippers, or hoods or whatever on them. And they've got these ambiguous length of trousers. They’re not shorts; they’re not trousers neither; they’re just these things as if making a statement that says "I don't want any executive position anytime soon, OK? I’m having a milk shake for the next fucking 10 years. So stay the fuck away from me!”

The truth is that you don’t stay beautiful forever. It all goes away. So you have to learn to value different things. Everything gots taken away. I use to be a young man with a body. Not anymore, my nephew doesn't even respect me, he's only 11 years old, I see him I light up and go, "Hey! What's happening recently? What's going on in school? " And he doesn't even speak to me, he walks up to me and grabs the bottom of my stomach and goes, "Blar, blar, blar, blar...." And then walks away!

Children sleeping in your bed is part of having children. It's very important for a child's development to sleep in a grown-up's bed. Because their bones are growing in particular directions. But I think, what really happened is that children are actually very sophisticated, they sleep in your bed for a reason, right. After the child born, he takes a look around and thinks "Well, this isn't quite what I'd hoped for. These people are idiots! I wouldn't have painted the house like this, I don't. But I'm gonna make the best out of it. So how do I do it? I'm gonna maximise my resources, the key thing to achieve this is to stop these people have any more children."

I meant to talk about something else early on... I forget what it was. When I remember what it was again a minute ago, but I also forgotten. And that's really what adult life feels like most of the time.

Love is incredibly mysterious, as you know. And it is still the thing that troubles most people for a lot of their lives, until they work it out. You may do or have done this, the little birds conversations in restaurants, you know young lovers speak to one another. It never really changes. The essential dialogue is people competing one another as they're telling each other how they love one another.

New generation have to work very hard in school to try to get a job now. The other day, my nephew come up to me with their mathematic homeworks going "I don't understand this, Uncle Felix, X equals Y minus C, how can it be negative value of C as an integer?” And I was totally honest with them, I said, “Look, here is five dollars, right, you almost instinctively know how many chocolate you can get with that? Now, here's a 20 dollar note, an unimaginable amount of M&M, imagine how many teeth you can explode with that."

Nobody will warn you that your children will need pets, guinea pigs, hamsters, or whatever. For years, children was saying "Daddy, daddy, give me a little Hamster." "No, no. I don't want a rat with privileges in my house." "Please, daddy, please, daddy, a tiny little lovely hamster..." And in the end, you have to give in. Because you will realised that it's very important for children's development.

The fact is that everybody is prejudice. I have often riddled with prejudice, I depend on my own prejudice to remind me who I am. I don't want fucking people coming up to me all the time, being as nice to me as they are to everybody else. Cause apparently, I know they’re lying. My problem most of the time, is that other people don't think exactly like I do, and that made my day so long! People being nice all the time to one another is a very bad idea. It means bad things would have to happen to them later at night, or they'll have to do some very bad things.

The fact is that young man, especially, all men, don't even see children. For them, they're just other beings that need instant gratification, their competition really, as far as they concern.

Young people don't really think about death at all, cause they've got the intelligence of a raspberry jam. But this thing, the death, as if a metaphor will always make you do things.
