While children can be incomparably expensive, stupendously adorable (until a certain age), and unimaginably frustrating, they can also be a source of amusement. I frequently think of Calvin's dad in the
Calvin & Hobbes comic strip:
Calvin: Dad, were there dinosaurs when you were a kid?
Dad: Oh, sure, your grandfather and I used to put on leopard skins and hunt brontosaurus for all the clan rituals.
Mom (after Calvin leaves)
: Listen buster, I think Calvin's grades are bad enough, don't you?
Sometimes, I can't help myself:
FasterTrafficette#1: Mom, what's this? <holds up green plastic bottle with a yellow cap>
Mrs. FasterTraffic: It's lemon juice.
FasterTrafficette#1: Can I have some?
Mrs. FasterTraffic: You wo-
FasterTraffic: SURE! Just get a cup.
Mrs. FasterTraffic: 
FasterTrafficette#1: Great!
FasterTraffic: No problem. Get a cup for your sister, too.
<FasterTraffic pours lemon juice in two cups while grinning like the Cheshire Cat>
FasterTraffic: Here you go!
<Girls tip back their cups and drink the lemon juice>
FasterTrafficette#1: Ack! That's disgusting!
FasterTraffic: 
FasterTrafficette#1: Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! <spits on floor>
FasterTraffic: 
FasterTrafficette#1: Water! I need water! <gets water from fridge and guzzles it>
<Girls exit the kitchen>
Mrs. FasterTraffic: You saw that she spit on the floor, right?
FasterTraffic: So, so f**king worth it.
Mrs. FasterTraffic: 
FasterTraffic: Dad of the Year right here, Momma.
So, VBOT, what humor have you wrought at
your childrens' expense?
