And that’s why they teach mothers and fathers of newborns, how to swaddle their baby, tight when they’re infants, because they feel secure in that tight blanket. And as you mature, you sort of loosen that blanket so that children develop their wings. They crawl, then they walk. But you’re never supposed to get away from basic rules.”

But what you’re really teaching the child in that moment is it’s okay to lie. My parents, my parents, I look up to you just told me it’s okay to lie.

And the other thing that she taught me is someone has to take control of the courtroom. And typically it’s the person who is most prepared, will control their space within the courtroom.
