A different family

This is a upeer class household. The grandparents are intelligent professionals. The parents are smart and intellectuals too. They have two children - advised by the grandparents.

The parents and grandparents are strict displinarians. They have rules that you cannot litter, cannot spit and must flush the toilet after using it.They taught the children to be obedient, hard working, law abiding and honest people. The children behaved well and did well in school too. They feel safe and well cared for by the parents.

Then came the time for them to go to college. They have to leave home and be on their own. One of the children couldn't cope with life on his own. He was lost without the guidance of the parents. The other one took a differnt route. He enjoyed his freedom. In fact, he lost control of himself and went wild. He started burning his underwears and tried drugs. Obviously both did not do well in their studies.

Meanwhile, the parents felt lonely without the children. They regretted having only two of them. They vowed to advise the children to have more kids.
