“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.

…. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
―Shel Silverstein

You know, I read that the first time with the last line continuing the threat- “Anything [bad] can be”. Thank God it isn’t.
