Wise Mom.

Not what she wants to hear, but what she needs to realize.

There is good parenting in the Wapsiverse, if the examples we've seen are any indication.

It's not easy, telling someone something you know will grieve them, yet being able to do so in a way that conveys that even though it hurts to hear this, you care about them and you are there for them.

Nicely done.

And the explanation itself denotes a fair amount of wisdom on the mom's part. Nicely explained.

With luck, NOT another Thana.

With a mom like that, definitely not another Thana.

Picture a place... Where feelings are not reciprocated...

You have just entered... The Friend Zone...

And somewhere on campus there is a young fellow equally grieved by the fact that this young Lady won't give him the time of day... and she has no clue about it...

ah, i just wish everyone would have a wise mom like that, eh ?

We need some of that style parenting out here in the real world

At least there's a way to exit the friend zone. Of course, the befriending someone while having hidden motives for doing so is a crappy thing to do.


There's a bit of science to the friendzone, though.

Oh, it's out here . . . you just don't notice it, because they don't get in significant trouble.

The real trick is getting this kind of family culture to spread into the rest of the populace.

Along with personal responsibility . . .

So what you're saying is, if you're going to dream, might as well dream big?

If our culture, our Country, our SPECIES is to survive, yes...
