I also watched the movie &#8220;A knights tale&#8221; tonight, where the father was sending his son off to apprentice with a knight at a tender young age saying that was all he had to give to him (the man was poor) and that he wanted his son to live a better life than he himself had lived.<br \/>\nI have just been feeling alittle crazy I guess.
