Did This List Inspire You to Be More Independent and Follow Your Heart?
In The Waterboy, Bobby Boucher, played by Adam Sandler, seems dimwitted and overly dependent. All his life, he’s lived with his overprotective mother, Mama Boucher. This caused him to have a naive view of how the world works.
Mama Boucher only wanted the best for her child—and we’re sure all parents out there can relate to her need to protect Bobby. However, sometimes, the best way for kids to learn is if their parents let them spread their wings on their own and fly.
Yes, sometimes, kids’ wings will get broken. They can also crash unexpectedly. But, that’s all part of life—and growth.
So, if you’re a parent, reflect on Mama Boucher’s mistakes and realizations. In the same way, as a child, be honest with your family and let them know if you need a little more space to breathe and explore the world.
With that, we hope this list of the best The Waterboy quotes was able to encourage you to take charge of your own life and decisions. Never let anyone—or anything—get in the way of your growth and development as humans!
