As long as they are good parents, it is the best advice you could possibly get. I'm not really joking either.
Mom meant well, but had no idea how rough things were for me socially. Dad thought that five dollars was more then enough money for two 14-year olds to go on a date (c.1970), and that any more than that meant that the kids were likely gambling, getting drunk or taking drugs.
