I was recently thinking about the similarities between raising a child and growing a bonsai. I have two kids of my own, and bonsai has really given me a lot of insight into how I mold and raise them.

We work, and invest so much time and effort into them, and ultimately, we work with what they give us. We worry and love them and try to get them to be their best.

And sometimes you get so frustrated with them, you genuinely consider an all out trunk chop! XD
