We. Love. This. Family.

So many times, like in that interview from a few weeks ago, we’ve heard Will and Jada talk about their children. And while most kids aren’t as accomplished or relentlessly cool as the Smith kids, it’s pretty standard for parents to gush about their kids. Decent parents, anyway, and Will and Jada are more than decent.

But Willow Smith turned the tables when she sat down with Interview Magazine, and she has a lot to say about her folks:

“Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they could be, and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally being face-to-face with these people and saying, ‘I’m no better than you, but the fact that you’re coming to me to reach some sort of enlightenment or to shine a light on some-thing, that makes me feel love and gratitude for you.'”

That sounds wonderful, right?

The interview goes on:

“They always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep giving and giving and giving. And some people don’t feel like they need to give anything back because it’s like, ‘Oh, if you’re famous, you can just keep giving, and it doesn’t matter’.”

Now that starts to sound like it’s just about being charitable or whatever, right? Which is great and all, but we all know that there are plenty of incentives to give that have nothing to do with being a good person. But Willow clarifies, because of course she did, she’s freaking brilliant:

“It’s not just about money. It’s not just about giving people gifts or whatever. What my parents have given to me is not anything that has to do with money or success or anything that society says people should be focusing on — it’s something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept. And that’s how I act and move in the world today.”

Honestly, while parents can’t receive sole credit for how extraordinary their children become, we’d be living in a much better world if there were more parents like the Smiths.
