Soft focus. A seven-year-old boy plays on a swing in slow motion, a big smile on his face. Dissolve to a six-and-a-half-year-old girl with an even bigger grin on her face, holding her mommy’s hand at the mall, a perfect angel. A gentle voice speaks to us as we continue to see scenes of well-behaved children from this parallel universe: “Disruptive behavior. Hyperactivity. For years, we just accepted these symptoms as normal adolescent behavior. But now we know better. Chances are, your child is suffering from a horrible disease called A.D.H.D., Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Fortunately, there’s now hope. You no longer have to lace their brownies with marijuana. You can now medicate your child legally with a miraculous drug called Strattera. Yes, before you know it, your child will be as gentle as a baby lamb, and twice as quiet. Side effects are mild, and may include upset stomach, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, tiredness and mood swings. But isn’t that a small price to pay for happy, healthy child?” Side Effects suck.

Technical Crap
Oh, don’t get me started. Nothing will prepare you for raising children, nothing. You cannot imagine the time, energy, and patience involved. However, step up crazy parents. It’s called work, so just do it. (Side Note: I do actually have one friend with a veritable ADHD kid, and with a kid like Mac, there’s no other solution but hemp brownies.)
