In this quote, Erma Bombeck highlights an amusing yet relatable aspect of child raising. She points out that while there are many things that parents are warned about when it concerns raising children, one thing that is frequently neglected is the constant expectation to understand your child's name and age. This might look like a basic job, however as a moms and dad, it ends up being a reflex to always have this details at the tip of your tongue. It is a pointer that being a parent is a lifelong commitment and duty, and even the smallest details about your child are expected to be known at any given minute.
