Procedure and protocol

Something strange happened in these first days of the school year, in the dialogue between parents and children. With the slightly older children, we introduced two new terms into the vocabulary: procedure and protocol.

We look into each other's eyes thinking about when we adults heard these words for the first time ... certainly after the end of compulsory school! 

Two words that appear out of place in the childhood that flies towards life and in the adolescence that disputes.How can you "be sure" ... yet the aim is only to spread and make a behavior unchangeable.

If so, there is nothing strange in the end: it is a question, as often happens, of using example to make people understand the importance of respecting what is established for the common good. I don't discount myself, you don't discount yourself. Because we love each other and want to be guardians of each other.
