[ Norman sets the communicator up, smiling into the screen. He's wearing a sharp vest and glasses that he doesn't need, but certainly make him look dapper and legal-y. He's holding a hardcover book with a green dust jacket, and HOW TO RAISE A SUCCESSFUL CHILD by Norman Osborn is splashed on the cover in pale purple fontface, and opens it to an arbitrary page. ]
"It's imperative you don't spoil your child, should you hope for them to succeed in life. People speak of silver spoons, but you may as well be clubbing them with it. Everyone benefits from opportunity, but opportunity must be earned if it's to be of value. A child for whom everything is provided for him until adulthood will not know how to provide for himself once the time comes. He won't know how to succeed on his own accord. Nothing is crueler than instilling failure in your child."
[ With a smirk, he closes it. ]
I was lucky enough that they bumped the release date early -- I insisted. Who wouldn't? My son's left the city again, it'd be a pity if I had nothing to celebrate. The rest of you make sure to take a moment to think about family today. It's so important.
[ He taps his temple. ]
Though sorry, no discounts for friends.
( This book is definitely highly satirical, and for reader's reference, is dedicated to "G.S.". )
