My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. When I wasn't pitching hay, hauling corn or running a tractor, I was heaving a baseball into his mitt behind the barn... If all the parents in the country followed his rule, juvenile delinquency would be cut in half in a year's time.

我小的时候,父亲让我从早到晚忙个不停。当我不投干草,不拖玉米,也不开拖拉机的时候,我就在谷仓后面把棒球塞进他的手套里……如果全国所有的父母都遵循他的统治,一年之内青少年犯罪将减少一半。
