truism

my google quote of the day is from aristotle:
it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

it strikes me that it is the hallmark of a mother's mind to be able to not just entertain unpalatable thoughts but to anticipate them. we all know that mothers of teenagers have minds like kitchen sinks; perhaps this slips aristotle's mind.
