Cradler's post reminded me of some advice that you gave me once, DH. I didn't follow it. But I have recommended it to other people since then. So maybe it's not a total loss..?
As to the question the poll is asking.... Why does our inner child have to be a jackass?
Wait, wait... I just realized that some people voted, so I'm not going to call everyone's inner child who voted a jackass (me included). I try not to talk about people's kids like that. So maybe "little satan"?
