"Lies We Tell Kids"[0] It really helped me put the whole two America's thing into perspective where some parents may have an opportunity to lie to protect kids and others don't have the time to entertain lies. At first it made me want to be a pragmatic parent when I have kids, but over time of rereading it I've realized that given the opportunity I'd probably perpetuate the same system in an effort to not have my child be the odd man/woman out.
