It's not fair


Daughter: Can I have a bedtime snack?
Me: No.
Daughter: Grrr! No fair!
Daughter: You get to do everything because you're a parent!
You get to eat bedtime snacks!
You get to stay up late!
You get to work for your family and buy things and everything!
Daughter storms out of the room.

Dazzled? I was.
