Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for September 03, 2020

I tried that in 1955. The battery laws toward your own child were different then.

Tony’s QOTD: Shop around?

Yes, from the comfort of my desk these days.

Why was he worried about Elliot sleeping over at Maria’s house. I’d be more worried that they’re planning not to sleep.

Usually by that age they already know from the start the right parent to pitch the request to

For what? A new Comic?

When I was a kid, when one parent said “No”, we would be in HOT water if we went to the other one.

I would never pitch stuff like that to my Dad. Pitch to Mom to pitch it to Dad. If I pitched to Dad first, and he said no, there was no appeal process.

Sometimes you get crushed when you’re playing both ends against the middle …

Is this a version of good parent, bad parent? In Elliot’s defense, usually Peter says go ask Mom.

So glad I never had children…
