There’s a saying in fantasy lawyer land (as seen on T.V.): don’t ask the question if you don’t already know the answer. The same can be said for real life parenting. This evening I asked my intrepid daughter if she wanted to play an Xbox game with me. She replied, “I’d rather play the ‘Fairly Odd Parents’ with mom than ‘Star Wars’ with you.”

That hurts on so many levels I don’t know where to begin.
