You are a son, you will be a father, and that’s how I became a father of six without ever getting too involved in what they think and what they believe, I trust that the invisible hand (if it’s invisible, how do we know it’s a hand?) will lead them along paths that are the best for each person. I have always been a fan of their freedom as people, as long as they know what they are doing and want for themselves what they want. You can do anything but be from Benfica and get up from the table before the last person finishes eating. That’s why, when one of the oldest, who is from Benfica, said that she was going to vote for Chega, in the middle of Monday dinner (Monday dinners, with all of them, are increasingly first class dinners), I opted for to remain silent, especially because the screams and angry gestures of the 16-year-old, truth be told, didn’t leave room for much else.
