Parenting 101 From The Cosby Show
There isn’t a whole lot of new programming on TV right now, so we’ve been watching The Cosby Show reruns recently. I swear, that show is just as funny today as it was in 1985. It’s also just as touching. Cliff may wear crazy sweaters but what he lacked in fashion sense, he more than made up for it in common sense.
Despite the daily exhaustion of delivering babies and dealing with his five kids, he was always there to point them in the right direction (with a well-timed wisecrack of course). He taught his kids to keep their word, about honesty, priorities, humility, pragmatism, dedication and respect. He instilled in them a work ethic and deep love for family. I will never be as sassy as Claire and David will never be as witty as Cliff- but we hope to emulate their values and teach our child(ren) the same lessons. And maybe have half the fun they had along the way.
