Story morals for " Parables for Life as a 21st Century Parent"

"Parables for Life as a 21st Century Parent" will be a collection of stories that contain applications for today's
parents. Nationally published author Stuart Gustafson is accepting story submissions because stories that are written
by many parents will have a broader appeal to readers. As with all the books in the Parables for Life in the 21st
Century series, the stories are expected to include a modern narrative story, a moral to that story (or the "lesson
learned"), and applications for using that moral in today's life as a parent.

Here are just a few possible morals to the story:

Young birds do not learn how to fly by staying in the nest.
"No" is not always a bad answer
Be comfortable with imperfection; sometimes 80% is quite sufficient
Allow a cornered cat to gracefully extricate itself from its predicament(save face)
It's easy to remember your story when you always tell the truth
Mistakes can sometimes be your best teachers

Notes/Disclaimers:
