I dish the dirt out and I can take it. But why should my mother and children have to take it?

All kids love to get dirty, but if I wandered into the garage, my father would say: 'Son, you're not going to have filthy hands like mine. You're going into show business.'

Young children are such nasty little beasts!

Kids are messy!

My mom grew up with horses, and when I turned 14, 15, she's like, 'Do you want to take a riding lesson?' I thought, 'Oh, gross, dirty.' She was like, 'Okay.' And then I did, and now I'm the one cleaning those damn stalls out. You can't get me away from the barn now. It shocks even me.

As a parent, I can get so frustrated. Any parent can!

It's hard to say no to your kid. It's hard for them to stomp off and not be happy with you for an hour.

Kids will eat anything, won't they?

Cleanliness is very important. If you let kids make a total mess in the kitchen and then leave, you're not really teaching them anything.
