Can I predict Thing 1 will be an SVP of a some mega-advertising firm and Thing 2 a chef? Sure I can. Who's stopping me?

But if I am honest, I also have recognize how many other things they will be and also be willing to admit my influence on their life will have its serendipitous side, no matter how hard I try to channel them.

French mime Marcel Marceau's father was a butcher; British society debs Victoria and Isabella Hervey had a dad who was the society cat burglar of his time; and an American dad left nine children from various marriages heading in all different directions.
