I’m thinking about working on this design… honest
Parents need parenting coaches!
What tripped Lisa D’Annolfo Levey’s maternal tolerance meter on a recent Tuesday afternoon was not just the toy football her 7-year-old son, Skylar, zinged across the living room, nearly toppling her teacup. Or the karate kick sprung by her 4-year-old, Forrest, which Ms. Levey ducked, barely. The clincher was the full-throttle duel with foam swords, her boys whooping and squealing, flailing their weapons at the blue leather couch, the yellow kidney-shaped rug, and, ultimately, their mother. “Forrest, how about you come up and hug Skylar instead of whacking him in the head?” Ms. Levey implored. “This is stressing me out, guys. You can sword, but I’m feeling compromised here.”
To which Dave Barry (aka, the greatest writer of our time) noted:
OK, already I have three major problems with this story:
1. “Skylar”
2. “Forrest”
3. “You can sword, but I’m feeling compromised here.”

I agree with Dave. Run Forrest! Run!
Seriously, parenting coach? Parenting coach? Jeez.
I agree with d34e0b5cf7.
