So JVL was re-watching Jurassic Park for a piece he just wrote, and I peeked in every now and again. I caught this scene, and thought that on some days, it was kind of the perfect metaphor for parenting. : )
Muldoon: "They're lethal at 8 months. And I do mean lethal. They're extremely intelligent. Even problem-solving intelligent…When she looks at you, you can see that she's working things out."
Ellie:"But the fences are electrified, right?"
Muldoon: "That's right — but they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknessess. Systematically. They remember."
