My parents were extreme left so everything was against the system. I was walking barefoot in the streets of Paris when I was eight. When I started to DJ they hated it, because for them, nightclubs, and all of this life, was terrible and fake. ↗

Most kids will not volunteer to eat veggies. At times you must step up to the plate and enforce the rule of authority as a parent. ↗
