Grin! That does seem to be true. My mother learned a lot during the
years I was at college. My college education must have taught her even
more than it did me!

I think there may be truth to that. I think there comes a time during
adolescence (my son is there, regretfully) when a person has to seek
truth outside the home, among peers, and compare it with truth inside
the home. For a few years, the outside *truth* wins. Maybe it has to
win for a while. Maybe, otherwise, there wouldn't be a true comparsion
of the two.
