I feel like there needs to be a Jeopardy for parents. Five categories:
Things kids destroy
Mischief kids create
Emergency room visits
Parents’ grey hairs
The art of swearing in your head
Here’s the best part: there are five answers that could be right question to any one of the potential category answers:
What is “What do you have in your hands (and/or what did you just put in your mouth)?”
What is “Why is your brother crying?”
What is “How did you get up there?”
What is “Do you think that’s a good decision?”
What is “What are you doing out of your bed?”
So, with a one in five chance of nailing each question, you’d think you’d win. But let me assure you… you will lose and you will have the ER bill to prove it. In the succinct and prophetic words of Darryl Hammond/Sean Connery… “You will rue the day!” and “Suck it Trebek.”
