Summary

This quote reflects on the narrator's attempts to appear tough and unsympathetic as a parent, adopting a "hard-boiled" persona. However, their children easily recognize this faÃ§ade and see through their act. The quote reveals the parent's intention to enforce strict rules and punctuality, emphasizing their expectations and seeking compliance from their kids. Despite their efforts, the children's response of a passive agreement, "Yeah, Dad," suggests that they understand their parent's act but may not fully comply with it.
